Just after 1 p.m., handfuls of children are scattered around Cristina Baez and Sarah Riordan's classroom on one of the final days of a summer school program at Haynes Elementary School in Sudbury. The groundwork for the summer program began in January. "We worked together with all the players, especially the teachers because the teachers really know the kids best," said David Gaita, program director. Teachers monitored how students were doing and wrote progress reports at the end of the program, so students' teachers this fall know how far they've come. Throughout the five-week program, kids celebrated silly sock day, riddle day, joke day, and dance party day.
