past eight weeks 300 children were attending summer school in the Delta and Fillmore area “The children were given various and exciting learning interesting said Barbara Nielson opportunities" Director of Special Education program for Millard County School District The District offered five programs which included a migrant program enrichment program special education program paid summer program and a program The migrant program was for students of parents who are employed in agriculturally related work according to Nielson “We have quite a bit of the programs with some overlapping each other kids attending the other programs along with their own” Nielson said “We like doing this because it takes away the racial bias and lets the children work together" In the enrichment program students studied French social studies music and every drama PE computers Thursday went on a field trip Cave and Hansen Planetarium were among the trips “The children were very excited about the program and results of a recent survey indicated that the parents of these children want to continue with this program next year" Nielson said Special Education was for children attending the special education program during the school year who were requested by teacher referral to attend summer school These students received remedial help in academic areas and usually stayed two hours per day The was offered for children ages that required more development before school starts Students who didn’t qualify for special education services and had parents who wanted a longer period of educational instruction were able to attend the paid summer program "Instructors attempted to remediate math or reading deficiencies in order to help the students catch up” Nielson said According to Nielson the summer school is run by the regular summer staff along w ith a few teacher aides and volunteers Andrea Nielsen (a recruiter clerk) came up with the idea of having some of Delta High School's sterling scholars help w ith the migrant program Nielson said Almost daily the sterling scholars taught objectives in science math music and art The scholars were Brian Stevenson Rick Murdock Kevin Otto and Wendy Nielson "Their willingness to voluntarily help w ith the summer school w as 1 great service as well as a valuable learning experience for both the students and the sterling scholars" Nielson
