Summerbridge Cambridge had its Celebration event last night. High school and college students teach and mentor promising middle school students in an intensive summer program and then throughout the school year.
The event was great - these 6th, 7th, and 8th graders showed such composure and talent. These kids are clearly learning some wonderful skills - I especially enjoyed the humorous presentation of conflicts in literature.
This is the kind of program that can really broaden horizons for some kids - kudos to Hilary Mead and her team.
