AUBURN Just 30 minutes before closing time at 3 p.m. Tuesday, students taped up a sign on their lemonade stand that said “sold out.”
The children in the Family Development neighborhood on Valerie Circle were participating in a math lesson under the watchful eyes of four educators from Auburn Public Schools.
Kim Bianco, Alice Crawford, Nurta Hade and Melissa Sundell have been working with students on Tuesdays and Thursdays through the month of July on reading and math skills. Anywhere from five to 25 kids will show up to the neighborhood’s recreation center on any particular day, said Sundell of Park Avenue Elementary School.
