Summer fun has begun at Project Impact

There’s a host of fun activities going on at the City of Apalachicola’s Project Impact program to help kids escape the boredom of summer vacation and ready them for back to school this fall.

 

Mission San Luis Tour

Last week kicked off the first in a series of out-of-town field trips where the kids traveled to Tallahassee to visit and tour Mission San Luis.  Mission San Luis is like stepping back in time, a reconstructed Spanish Franciscan mission where up to 1,400 Apalachee Indians and newcomers from Spain lived together from 1656 to 1704.

Another fun activity is the popular boat building program just starting up at the Apalachicola Maritime Museum, where Project Impact kids are learning first-hand the skill of how to build full sized seaworthy vessels.

On Monday's and Tuesday's Project Impact collaborates with the City of Apalachicola Municipal Library to teach hands on arts and crafts.

To round out the summer fun there’s a computer lab and a special pottery class set aside and for those students that have fallen behind in their studies, there’s a credit recovery class taught by Ms. Elinor Mount-Simmons to help them get back on track.

All brought to you by the City of Apalachicola and funded through a grant applied for by the city from the Department of Education to promote afterschool and summer enrichment programs.
