Monday, April 16th through Thursday, April 17th Denny International Middle School held its annual Spring Break Academy. Teachers, students, staff, and volunteers spent the week engaged in enriching work in math, science, and literacy over the course of the week. The academic portion of the camp had 82 students (scholars as Denny refers to their students) and the music academy had over 100 participants from Denny, Sealth, and our feeder elementary schools (Arbor Heights, Concord, Roxhill, Sanislo, Highland Park, and West Seattle).

Denny teachers and staff showed great teamwork, flexibility, and hard work as they worked with our students to practice skills in math, literacy, science, and music. Students practiced math problems, assessed their reading skills, analyzed nonfiction magazine articles, built structures with toothpicks, and practiced their instruments.

Denny ended with week with 72 scholars from the academic camp going to Family Fun Center for having exceptional attendance during the camp. Students in the music academy worked hard during the week in order to perform in the Jr. Daffodil Parade in Tacoma on Saturday morning. Denny would like to thank all staff members, student volunteers, Seattle Pacific University tutors, and parent volunteers for making this a successful academy for our scholars.
