K.I.S.S. With Anna Catlin

With the school year over for so many kids, it's great when you hear about some continuing education during the summer. Anna Catlin tells us all about her school in the summer experiences at James Williams Middle School. 

 

She tells us about her classes including:

• Cooking, all kinds of delicious stuff!
• Art and making origami
• Technology Class - typing and using PowerPoint, and a funny story!
• Gaming Class - how to play games, like Chess!
• Culture and how people of the world is different

 

That's how Anna is "Keepin' In-touch with Summer School!"

Maybe you have some terrific places you like to ride your bike or fun educational places to visit. Tell us all of your great summer fun ideas!

We can't wait to hear from you!

To get started, make sure you sign-up on our site so you can post your 'cast for review and we'll be happy to post it (so long as it meets our criteria).
