☀️ It has been a busy summer here on the Orono campus!

A special thank you to our staff for the creative, caring ways they supported and engaged our students all summer long.

Here’s a glimpse at the tremendous impact Community Ed. made this summer:

🎨 More than 7,500 summer enrollments in 532 camps and classes. That’s an average of 600 enrollments each week!

🎒 120 incoming kindergartners completed “Ready, Set, Kindergarten” in preparation for this big change.

☀️ 55 students participated in Discovery Kids child care and 146 students in Spartan Kids child care throughout the summer.
