North Shore students mix education with fun at North Shore Summer Experience

North Shore’s youngest students once again got the chance to learn, play and develop their minds and bodies through the North Shore Summer Experience. The Summer Experience, or T.E.N.S., which stands for Talent Exploration at North Shore, took place in July through the first week in August 2024.

“Students who completed kindergarten through eighth grade were engaged in a range of fun and highly engaging learning experiences,” Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Carol Ann Smyth said. “These experiences ranged from soap-making and crocheting to STEM explorations and math games to sports and backyard fun.”

Two sessions of the program were offered from July 8-19, 2024 and July 22-August 2, 2024. Almost 100 students were engaged in a wide range of activities under the direction of North Shore teachers and staff, from crocheting and gardening to robotics and sports

“These experiences support the growth of our students as collaborators, communicators, thinkers, problem solvers, innovators, and committed individuals, thus supporting our students’ growth in our North Shore Shared Value Outcomes,” Smyth said. “In addition, the interest-based experience is aligned with the North Shore Journey.”
