James Rayner Kids Quotations

We talk about cuts here and cuts there but there's really not much that was available to kids three years ago that's not available now.

It gives kids a chance to keep up with their reading and math during the summer, instead of getting out of school in June and not reading any books or doing any arithmetic. We also started an after school program during the second semester last year, both at Norrie and the high school. Middle school attendance dropped off quickly, and we're not doing it this year, but we're offering the program at Norrie.

We added free lunch last year. We hope to expand that next summer by promoting it more. It doesn't have to be summer school kids (who attend).
