Summer Eats - Free Meals for Kids and Teens all Summer

Brought to you by Massachusetts' Department of Education and local school and community meal providers, Summer Eats sites across the state provide free meals to all kids and teens, no identification or registration required. Caregivers can rest easier knowing meals are off their hands, and use that time and energy to focus on everything else on their to-do list. Click on this link to find out more about where and when these programs are offered.

Exploring our Earth

In this unit, students will learn about recycling and caring for their environment, including a focus on the ocean. Students will explore ocean animals and the beach habitat before leaving for summer break. They will talk about what animals live in the ocean, what summer is and what do we do in the summer.

Summer Playgroups

Lowell Public School's CFCE program provides summer playgroup for young children under the age of five and their families! Join the fun and invite your friends! Sing songs, read books, engage in activities and share ideas with peers. Click below for more information, dates and times.
