Pelham's Summer Stars Get a Leg-Up on the School year

Approximately 40 Pelham students from kindergarten through fifth grade are participating in "Summer Stars" this year. The  six-week program offered by the District ensures students will maintain fundamental skills for their grade. 

Teacher in Charge, Jackie Soccodato, from Hutchinson School, said in a release from the district,  “Our goal is to ensure these students start in September with a stronger foundation.”  

The summer program includes students from four elementary schools and focuses on both Math and English Language Arts, with groups benefitting from smaller numbers than typical school year class sizes.   

Summer Stars was held in the middle school this year.  Teaching the Summer Stars program this summer are Janet Williamson, Lisa Buzin, Melissa Magiet, Carin Pinsker and Christina Altero.
