As some of you know, I co-direct a 1st-3rd grade chorus here, the Longfellow Larks. My co-director, Jennifer Trueman Resek, a school neighbor and former Longfellow parent, is teaching a class this summer called "Summer in Song" through the Oak Park Education Foundation.
This particular class is for students who will be in 1st - 4th grade next year. You can find more information at www.opef.org/basecamp/register/. Camps filled up fast last summer, so register soon! There are other classes for various grade levels in this summer's program including LEGO Landmarks for incoming first graders. B.A.S.E. Camp runs from June 4-29, but classes vary in start dates, times, lengths and locations. Programs are open to students from any school. This year there are three locations: Julian Middle School, Brooks Middle School, and Oak Park and River Forest High School.
