Learning, fun and exploration continues for a group of Plainville's upcoming fifth and sixth grade students this summer through the Camp Invention program held at Linden Street School June 29th - July 2nd. Overseen by district Elementary Math and Science Instructional Leader Jessica Cochrane, students from all three Plainville elementary schools are enjoying the dynamic program that focuses on creativity, innovation and real-world problem solving. Through hands-on, interactive STEM activities, children collaborate to design prototypes , explore scientific concepts, and build confidence in their own ideas. The program is facilitated by Plainville Community Schools faculty members Amy Moreau, Sarah Marci, Samantha Woodward, and Meghan Ray.

Two programs - one shared goal: Growing readers, building relationships, changing futures.
