EL CAJON (NEWS 8) — Sometimes, what a student needs the most is encouragement.
In Thursday’s Zevely Zone, Jeff visited El Cajon to meet a special teacher who dug deep into her heart – and pocket – to help a student in need.
Jason showed up in Miss Wilson’s class 8 years ago and he was a bit of a handful. But he had good reason to be – when he was younger his mother went to prison and when he was 12 years old his father was murdered. Jason then went to live with a family friend.
Still, growing up without parents had many challenges and Miss Wilson became family to Jason.
Our Extended Day Program’s second week of Summer Day Camp went off with out a hitch! Our theme this week was “Anything Goes!” . Just to name a few of the fun and engaging activities students enjoyed this week week we had Park Rangers guest speaking, We put our engineering skills to the test and built towers at of pencils, and enjoyed a week of coding from the Code to the Future group! The fun just keeps on happening!
Week Three of EDP Summer Camp was “Community Helpers” We kicked off the week working together to build Rosie the Riveter. Students moved on to learning the fine art of seeing bones by making “x-rays” of their hands with q-tips! Kids enjoyed the outdoors with parachute play and then ended their week with a visit from the El Cajon Fire Department. Fun, laughter and learning was had by all!
Week four, “The Wonderful World of Water” had students enjoying water games, the Bubble lady and ended in a Kickball tournament! Students also made sure to give a big “thank you” to the El Cajon Fire Department for taking time to show our kids how to be safe and still have fun!
