TAYLOR SUMMER ACADEMY: Children learning year-around



Learning is going on year round, thanks to the Taylor Summer Academy. Students had the opportunity to choose classes based upon their personal interests over two sessions, each lasting two weeks.

Ms. Farkas is teaching Wild & Wacky Weather, and her group of second-fourth graders is very excited about the weather station they have set up on the tennis courts.  Here is fourth- grader Bryan Morones' personal weather report for the morning of June 24.
