Discovery Club provides its members with opportunities to grow
academically, physically, and socially. Through an assortment
of enrichment and recreational activities, in an informal
atmosphere, members will develop skills, positive relationships,
and intellectual curiosity.
Discovery
Clubs for students at Golden Hill, Tilton, Silver Hill,
Pentucket Lake, Consentino, Nettle and J.G. Whittier schools are
funded by a $751,485 21st Century Community
Learning Centers grant from the Massachusetts Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education. The four elementary
sites and three middle school sites serve 600 first through
eighth grade students in school year and summer programs.
Club members have the use of
all the school facilities including classroom and laboratory
computers, gymnasiums, and libraries. In yearly evaluations,
students, parents, staff, and administrators enthusiastically
endorse Discovery Club. Students who qualify for free or
reduced lunch pay no fee to attend. Higher income families pay
an affordable fee. Transportation home is provided.
