24 THE QUEENS COURIER • JANUARY 5, 2017 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT WWW.QNS.COM St. Francis Prep To Host Students for Free Saturday Enrichment Programs For the fourth consecutive year, St. Francis Prep will be hosting middle school and junior high school students for a free Saturday morning enrichment program. The program which is sponsored by the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens takes place on Saturday mornings this winter at the school. Students who have enrolled in this “Winter Academy” were given the opportunity to choose two courses from a wide variety of offerings. One of the more popular courses over the past several years has been Musical Theatre. Students enrolled in this course spend 3 hours each Saturday morning working on acting, singing, and dancing, in preparation for a production which is presented to family and friends on the last day of the Academy. Additionally, the Art Department offers courses in both Sculptural Design and Digital Art. The St. Francis Prep Music Department which boasts 11 different performing ensembles offers both Electronic Orchestration and Music Technology. Students who choose either or both of these courses get the chance to experience the latest technology the music industry has to offer, in the school’s newly constructed Music Center. A course being offered for the first time this year is App Development. Students who have interest in learning how to use digital technology to create apps or design video games will be working in one of the many computer labs at St. Francis Prep They will also be introduced to ways apps are marketed and how a developer gets his/her app up and running. For students interested in more traditional enrichment, a number of courses have been offered to suit them. The most popular of these courses over the years and again for this year’s session include The American Comic Book: an Analysis of History & Culture, and WWII: Turning Points in the Pacific. In each of these courses, students use a number of primary sources in order to come to an understanding of how world events took shape and eventually came to shape America. Although registration for the St. Francis Prep Winter Academy has ended, middle school and junior high school students will still have an opportunity to experience life as a St. Francis Prep student before they begin high school. Academies are offered during the summer at SFP and provide opportunities in a number of similar and different courses. 9 different sports camps are also available throughout the summer as well.
