Leona Libby Middle School
Leona Libby Middle School will be offering summer STEAM experiences for our incoming and returning students. We will be offering three different sessions with different offerings each session. Each session will have two course offerings. Students will participate in both courses. They will spend half the time in one course and half the time in the second course. Our programs will start the week after school gets out for the year. Each session typically runs from 8:30-11:30 M-Th. The sessions are open to incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. There will not be lunch provided for students. Our programs tend to fill up quickly. We do ask that you sign up for one session only to allow participation for as many students as possible. Here are the dates and courses for our 2023 Charger Summer School:
