The Manchester Township School District (MTSD) continues offering fun and educational summer programs to interested and eligible students across all grade levels. In addition to the highlighted programs we spotlighted in an article last week, the Regional Day School (RDS)'s Extended School Year (ESY) program featured the sounds of royal princesses in a special music performance this week!
Princesses from the Ocean County Performing Arts Academy (OCPAA) visited students and staff of the Regional Day School on Wednesday. These performers shared with the RDS students and staff their singing and performing talents. Music therapy is a large part of the RDS curriculum. A special visit by these talented princesses singing songs from some of the most iconic children's movies provided entertainment, a way of communication and discussion, musical art, accompanying art, literature, social skills, and so much more.
Thank you to the OCPAA students who took the time out of their summer to come and provide this special performance to the RDS ESY students, today! We wish Belle the best in her upcoming senior year, Ariel in her upcoming junior year, and Mary Poppins a recent OCPAA graduate the best!
ESY is tailored to eligible student needs with differentiated instruction to enhance their learning experience. Students participate in interactive, hands-on activities that reinforce skill mastery, providing them with a strong start to the upcoming school year.
