The Webutuck Central School District wrapped up its summer programs with a morning of miniature golf and ice cream at Kelly’s Creamery in Dover Plains.

Hailee Terwilliger, who enjoyed the field trips, likes cookie dough ice cream.

“I just like the way it tastes,” the rising seventh grader said.

The summer programs were held at Maplebrook School in Amenia as work continued on the Webutuck campus as part of the $12.56 million capital improvement project.

“Considering it was at a different site, I thought it went amazingly well,” said Eugene Brooks Intermediate School Principal Jennifer Hengen. “Maplebrook was very accommodating. The students transitioned well. The teachers did a great job with the resources we had.

“I’m sad to see it end but it’s also exciting the kids are already in their routine and September is just around the corner. They’ll be able pick up and carry on as they have been.”

The summer programs gave students the opportunity to learn and have fun. Students and staff also took field trips to places such as the Children’s Museum in Poughkeepsie, Indian Rock Schoolhouse in Amenia and Trevor Zoo at the Millbrook School.

Tony Preciado enjoyed participating in the summer program. The rising fourth grader highlighted the trip to Trevor Zoo where he saw a wolf and a red panda.

“I learned they grow really big,” Preciado said of the red panda.

The English as a new language summer program mixed learning and fun in their stations on their final day at Maplebrook. After the stations, students sat in a circle to share facts about the animals they saw at the zoo.

Students in another district summer program read Lucas Sachar’s novel, “Holes,” and had the chance on the final two days at Maplebrook to watch the movie.

“Watching the movie was really nice because they read the book and they’re now connecting the book and the movie,” said teacher Lisa Marino.

Marino summed up the six-week program.

“The summer program went really well with us being at a different site,” she said. “The kids really stepped up and acclimated. They reinforced basic skills and went over a lot of previously learned material so they can keep that all fresh in their minds to start off the year right.

“It was really a nice summer. We’re ready to go back to Webutuck. We’re ready to see our new classrooms.”
