Community School abuzz with activity

Music workshops scheduled during Summer Symphony


By EXPRESS STAFF

    While many school campuses are quiet during the summer months, the independent Community School in Sun Valley remains a busy place with numerous events and activities planned for the summer months.
    More than 1,000 students, adult students and instructors will be using the campus this summer, school officials said this week.
    “In today’s world, we are both lifelong and year-long learners,” stated Head of School David Holmes.
    The summer program includes a three-week summer school of academic courses, camps of all kinds, workshops and local organizations utilizing facilities for special programs. In addition, the school’s residential facility in Warm Springs provides living space for Higher Ground and the Sun Valley Symphony.
The summer kick-off started with Company B Summer Performing Arts Day Camp and the St. Thomas Playhouse Summer Theater Project. They were joined by the Community School Young Explorers’ Camp, an Elementary School Reading and Writing Camp and the Sun Valley Driving School.
The Ketchum Co-ed Soccer League brings some 120 adults to the school’s Sagewillow Fields in Elkhorn for three matches a week.
    Later this summer, Community School will become a base for advanced music workshops offered to students through the Sun Valley Symphony. Two hundred students and 65 staff members will take over the Community School campus and part of the residence hall August 3-10.
    “It’s the very least we could do,” Holmes said. “The Sun Valley Summer Symphony is such an asset to the valley and we’re honored to host them again this year. … We’re thrilled to be a partner.”
