CHAPPAQUA SUMMER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

What they do

COURSES - DURING THE SUMMER OUR SCHOLARS ENJOYED A SHAKESPEARE COURSE TAUGHT BY A TEACHING ARTIST FROM THE HUDSON VALLEY SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL. SCHOLARS STUDIED RICHARD III DURING THE FOUR-WEEK SESSION, and THEN PERFORMED IT to A LARGE AUDIENCE. A HIGHLIGHT WAS THE ANNUAL TRIP to GARRISON, NEW YORK to HVSF to SEE THE PLAY IN PERSON. SCHOLARS ALSO PARTICIPATED IN A STEM CLASS WHERE THEY BUILT WOODEN TABLES and PASSIVEHYDROPONIC WINDOWSILL HERB GARDENS. IN CREATIVE WRITING CLASS THE CLASS FOCUSED ON READING BOY IN THE BLACK SUIT (2015) and for EVERYONE (2018) BY JASON REYNOLDS and WROTE ESSAYS IN RESPONSE. THEY ALSO WATCHED A SCREENING of HIS LIFESTORIES INTERVIEW. IN ADDITION, OUR THIRD YEARS WORKED ON THEIR PERSONAL STATEMENTS.
