Orono Community Education - Summer 2024

SUMMER 2024

Welcome to the Orono Community Education SUMMER PROGRAM!

Our program uses a unique combination of talented educators from within the Orono Schools and from neighboring school districts as well as partnerships with several local and national education businesses. The goal is to provide programs that keep students and community members active in both mind and body throughout the summer. We encourage you to spend your summer developing a healthy lifestyle, academic strengths, positive social skills and character. Whether you participate in your favorite activity or learn something new - we hope you HAVE FUN!

Office Location & Summer Hours

Monday - Thursday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

Friday 8:30 AM - 4 PM

Due to scheduled maintenance work in buildings this summer the Community Education office will relocate to the Intermediate School. The office location will be posted on our website in May. ce.oronoschools.org/youth/summer-programs

Class locations are subject to change. Many classes list the building they are located in without a specific classroom. Room numbers will be included on the class reminder you receive via email a couple of days before the first day of class. Our staff is also available to guide students to the appropriate classroom when they arrive for the day.

COLLEGE PLANNING

College Connectors

College Connectors is an educational consulting company dedicated to helping students with post high school plans.

College Essay Writing Workshop

Virtual

The college application process is complex and many colleges ask students to write personal statements and supplemental essays. How do you write an effective essay?

Virtual Session 1: College Connectors counselors will educate students about the purpose of the Common Application personal statement, evaluate and discuss effective essays, and guide students through exercises to create a draft of their personal statement. There will be prework for this session. Between session one and two, students will be expected to complete a first draft of their personal statement to receive written feedback.

Virtual Session 2: We will evaluate sample supplemental essays and discuss how to answer common supplemental questions that demonstrate to colleges there is a strong mission, academic, or cultural fit between the student and the college. Students will have an option to have an essay review meeting with a College Connectors counselor by August 9th. A zoom link and prework will be sent to those registered one week prior to class.
