FULTON — River Bend Schools’ students, in partnership with Constellation, will experience summer enrichment classes from June 2 to 6.

About 150 students in grades four through eight will participate in this dynamic program, which is designed to spark curiosity, build skills, and prepare students for a successful year ahead, River Bend Schools Superintendent Darryl Hogue said.

The summer enrichment classes will include engaging hands-on activities, STEM-based learning, creative arts, culinary arts, and physical activities. With a focus on exploration and fun, the weeklong series aims to promote lifelong learning while providing a safe and stimulating environment for students. Classes will be held at River Bend Middle School, with transportation and meals provided.

Over 300 students will also participate in one-day trips offered in June and early July. Students will experience a variety of trips that include 3D printing, touring the Field of Dreams, and visiting Medieval Times as well as several other fun exciting adventures.
