Summary

Staff members at an elementary school in a low-middle socioeconomic area saw the need to generate new enthusiasm among pupils during the last few weeks of the school year. An enrichment program, based on new experiences for the children and the acquisition of skills not regularly included in the elementary curriculum, was provided for 600 pupils in grades 1 through 6, utilizing the assistance of parent volunteers. The program, financed by a small appropriation from the local Parent Teachers Association, occupied one hour each day for five consecutive days. A total of 23 offerings were presented to the pupils who submitted first and second choices after consultation with parents. Techniques used in the program included multigrading and team teaching for the larger groups. The program generated enthusiasm for school among pupils and parents, reduced absenteeism, and promoted communication among staff members previously reluctant to discuss classroom activities. The author states that the program could serve as a model for other elementary schools in need of generating enthusiasm within the school body or the community. (Photographs may reproduce poorly.)
