Perry’s Academic and Cultural Enrichment Services (P.A.C.E.S.) is excited about this year’s summer program.
Director Mary Hillman says they are able to offer these opportunities for students thanks to grants from several local organizations, totaling more than $51,000 this year.
In fact, so much money was raised this year that Hillman says they have been able to drop the price to participate this summer.
“The (Dallas) County Services of decategorization, or DECAT as kind of a nickname, gave us a $10,000 grant. That grant has allowed me to reduce the price, for this summer only, back to a price I used to charge about eight years ago because everyone does pay their fair share. This will save families $20 to $50 per week. So if you’re still looking for a very meaningful program, a quality program for your child this summer that continues learning in a very fun way, please come sign up but space is getting very limited.”
The cost to participate ranges from $50 for one student on the federal free lunch program, to $180 for three children in a family that pays full price for lunch.
The summer program starts on Monday, June 8th and runs through Friday, August 7th from 6am-6pm daily.
