More than 100 children are taking part in the six-week Summer Enrichment Program at the West St. Mary Civic Center. Dedicated program staff includes a director/lead instructor, a contracted bus driver and five classroom instructors who teach the students fundamental life skills to apply to their lifestyles and youthful decisions. Recreational, educational, artistic and many other activities also are provided. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday-Friday. The program will conclude on July 17. Funding was made available through a state general appropriations allocation and Recreation District 1's portion of the three-tenths sales tax revenue from Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10 Fund. St. Mary Community Action Agency is providing breakfast and lunch through the federal summer feeding program for all children enrolled.
