Show 7 THE GREEN SHEET Wednesday, July 24, 1985 Academics, Recreation Combined County Fair Sweetheart Contest Noted - Monroe School Takes On Pilot Program GRANGER. This is an idea whose time has come, said Dick Smiley, West County District Director, referring to the pilot day care program now in session at Monroe elementary. The program, directed through the Redwood Community Recreation Center, was developed because of an obvious need for a safe place for young children during the sum- mer. Too many children spend too many hours home alone when mom and day have to work and school is out for the summer, Smiley observed. Parents ask, Where will my child be safe, what will he or she do all day? he observed. There are many day care programs offering entertainment and fun for the summer, but the Monroe program is the first to combine an academic program with the recreational activities, Smiley pointed out. The program is using about 50 percent of the time for academics, he said. And, it is working out amazingly well, Smiley noted. We are getting an enormous, enthusiastic response from parents. The school filled up within two weeks of the announcement in April, while our regular programs didnt fill until into June. The Monroe program is the only one in Salt Lake County with an educational basis, he noted. We felt that the students forget so much of what they have learned dursummer vacaing the three-mont- h tion, then a lot of time is wasted getting them back into the swing of learning after school opens in the fall. There was no place where the children could be placed in a safe environment during the summer and also a learning environment, Mr. Smiley said. It was interesting to us that the educational program filled so much faster than the regular activity programs. Parents indicated they would like the concept to expand and we hope to add more similar pro- grams next year. The current program at Monroe is for children age 6 to 10. Thirty-fiv- e children are enrolled, making the classes full for the season, with three certified teachers, Kathy Evans, Debbie McCalib and Theresa Toone. Activities are appropriate to the age group, noted Mrs. McCalib. We have a good basic program in math, writing and reading, with the children offered a half hour of silent reading of their own choice daily, she observed. The County Bookmobile visits the school every Friday, each child has a library card and can make his own selections to use during the silent reading time, she said. They are learning how to use the library, the satisfaction of choosing books they enjoy, on subjects they are interested in, as well as developing a love of reading. We feel reading is the most important subject since it is involved in every area of education and the children look forward to their weekly library visit. My own son is enrolled in the Monroe program and he looks forward very much to the Bookmobile each week, noted Mr. Smiley. I surely appreciate seeing his interest in reading develop during the summer months, he added. I would gladly put my own kids into this program, agreed Mrs. McCalib. This is a pilot program and we are still developing, but it is so good for the children and they enjoy the mixture of academics and activities. The program also includes music, with a daily singing time, art in the variety of media, organized games, P.E., softball and soccer. Once a week the children have cooking class and have made rocky road pizza as the starting project. There is a large canvas earth ball, as big as an adult, for play and regular swimming lessons. Each Friday the students take a field trip, with the itinerary including Hogle Zoo, Pioneer Park, Tracy Aviary, the Super Slides and roller skating. A snow cone machine was brought to visit last week and the youngsters made their own cones. A hot lunch is served each day, along with midsnacks. afternoon and There are so many children with no place to go and nothing to do during the summer months, this is the best alternative I have heard of, said Mrs. McCalib. They enjoy the varied schedule, keep up on their school work and still have lots of activity and fun. The program is licensed through the state and is open to all children, Mr. Smiley noted. As we add more groups, we may have to have more than one location for the different age groups, he remarked. If this develops, parents will be able to bring all their children to one central location and they will be bused from there to the different areas, he said. mid-morni- Its an idea that was a long time coming, but it is an idea for the times, said Smiley. My own son is happy and busy this summer. He is learning to swim, enjoying the many activities and keeping up his school work. I think its great. Parents can feel secure that their MURRAY.

Eleven-year-ol- d Jenny Hansen just wanted to make an' ice cream to celebrate Utahs astronauts.

Jenny faces stiff competition today (Wednesday) at Lagoon when she makes her ice cream to serve the 10 judges. The grand prize will be a trip for two to Hawaii. Recently she also won the Dairy Foods Contest, junior division, at Valley Fair Mall. The recipe submitted there was for Fruitful Ice Cream, which she also had to make for the judges. Her Utah Astronaut Ice Cream, which she will make today, is simple enough to prepare, but it even sounds fattening.
