The summer program will run at Spruce Mountain Middle School.

Students who attend RSU73 Summer School are welcome to join us after their morning academics.

This application is required if you would like to be considered for the 21st Century Kids of Southern F.R.A.N.K.L.I.N. Summer Program. This application is not a guarantee that you will be selected for the summer program.

There will be no fee for this Summer Program.

The summer program will provide fun, active, and engaging outdoor and indoor activities (when necessary) designed to maximize students' physical activity and to keep their brains from slipping into the summer slide.
