Dr. Lewis related to Board Members present that our 2013 Summer School Program which ended last week, concluded a very successful literacy summer camp in the district, with about 120 students participated in the 4-week camp. He noted the actual camp was funded through our SRCL Grant and we addressed the required common core and state standards in the form of literacy across all content areas. He related students read various novels such as Alice in Wonderland, Julie of the Wolf, The Great Fire, Charlotte’s Web and The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas. He related the closeout ceremony last Friday, June 28th, 2013, where the students shared with us all the wonderful things they learned over the course of the camp. He noted the motivational speaker of our very own Jamarcus Goudeau, who participated in the camp and then various other individuals that came out to various things for our camp, as well as a partnership with our Audubon Library here in the district, so not only are we talking about literacy, we are making them aware that we have our Parish Library and made that connection with our students over the Summer. He related in addition to the Literacy Camp, we had our 4th and 8th Grade Leap Remediation as well as our High School Remediation for End-of-Course Testing for students who were not successful during the previous school year had the opportunity to receive some remediation and took either their LEAP Tests or End-of-Course Tests last week and we are waiting to get the results back in early August, 2013, to determine if our 4th and 8th Graders will be moving onto 5th or 9th Grades. He related it was a very successful summer program and one of our Parents at the closing ceremony and said that it is usually a challenge for her daughter to go to school, but did not want to miss a day of camp this summer and was truly engaged in the camp and the Parent asked would be offering this in the district again and I assured her through the grant we will offer this opportunity for our students and we feel that next summer it is going to be bigger and better.
Items 5.B.(2) Board President Bradford turned the floor over to Dr. Lewis.
Dr. Lewis related to Board Members present if you can recall last year, during the Month of October, 2012 for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we did a fund raiser here in the District to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen For The Cure® Fund and I believe we raised almost $1,600.00. He noted being in receipt of some information on fund raiser going on now with Lane Regional Medical Center Foundation in connection with “Friends of Lane Giving for a Heathier Tomorrow” for radiation treatment services and new state of the art Radiation Oncology Center on Lane’s Campus by January, 2014. He noted what we are going go do for our fund raiser in the District for Cancer this year, we are actually going to work towards being a “forever friend” the amount for this is $1,000.00 or above, so we feel that based on what we did last year, that we can definitely do that, so we will be having this fund raiser in our District this coming School Year to support the community.
