Summer program at MFS offers ‘transformative’ experience for students
School may be out for summer, but at Moorestown Friends School, the halls have been anything but empty. The school’s six weeks of programs came to an end on Friday, Aug. 10, and this summer saw students learning about new subjects, spending time in the workplace and even traveling internationally. Martha Cameron, director of auxiliary programs, said the majority of students attending the school’s programs are not MFS students. Approximately, 66 percent of students enrolled in the programs come from schools in the surrounding area.
