Courses, scholarships, transportation, child care being offered
The 2016 College for Kids program on the Verde Campus in Clarkdale will offer a large array of short summer classes for youngsters ranging in age from 3 to 17. This is the first time in the history of the program that this kind of effort has been made in the Verde Valley.
Here are additional “firsts” for the program.
(a) The Beaver Creek School District is providing full tuition scholarship to eligible students attending College For Kids at Verde Valley Campus. The District is also providing school bus transportation to and from Yavapai College for the June 6 – 23 session. Ms. Jordan Harris, coordinator, Beaver Creek 21 Century programming, will be on campus daily during the morning session to help Beaver Creek children and parents plan the best course selection, apply for scholarships, and chart the path to higher education in the future!
