Approximately 530 students in grades K-7 from the Bethpage Union Free School District participated in the district’s annual Summer Elementary Enrichment Program from July 10 to Aug. 3. This year’s program was held at Charles Campagne Elementary School where students participated in different academic and enrichment courses based on their grade level. Each day was split into two sessions so students could enroll in two different courses if they wished.
