John D. O'Bryant School of Math & Science

...it's almost here, and you can't wait, right? Ah... no homework, no getting up in the middle of the night to catch the bus. So what are you going to do with all that free time? There are lots of great things to do in and around Boston. You could get a job, take dancing lessons, learn to sail or play golf, act in a play, volunteer at a museum or homeless shelter, plan for college, intern in a science lab or on a farm, and go to free concerts and films. (You could even work on your math skills...)

Need ideas? Summer Stuff 2010 is full of good ideas. (We've even thrown in some ideas for this spring and next school year.) Read it through, circle the ones that interest you, then visit their Web sites or call. They're waiting to hear from you. Next, apply—now. In many cases, you can apply on-line or print an application from the Web site. Don’t be put off by the cost of some programs. Many have scholarships, and they are looking for Boston students. In fact, some programs are only for students who go to the Boston Public Schools.

Good luck—and have a great summer!
