St. Vrain extends school year with Project Launch summer programs

Summer school students at Longmont’s Eagle Crest Elementary are taking part in an all-school read-aloud of a story about a snake who rescues other animals, learning about space through a visit from Fiske’s traveling, inflatable planetarium, and competing in STEM building challenges.

Along with the fun activities, they’re working with teachers in small groups to learn the math and literacy skills they struggled with last school year, giving them extra time to get ready to move to the next grade.
