Open house opens minds

AUBURN - The students of Genesee Elementary School's Kindergarten/Summer Oasis program have been hard at work all summer.

The program started seven years ago is designed to give children a leg up as they prepare to make the leap to the next grade level.

“The kids are here four weeks, four days a week from eight to 12,” Principal Tiffany Squires said. “We work specifically on skills that focus on literacy and numeracy. The idea is to target and give students who need it a little jump as they get ready to move to the next level from kindergarten to first grade or first to second. It just gives them a little extra and gets them ready to make that next step.”
