Teachers Make Strides With Summer Kids’ Program
With a record number of children — 20 — in this year’s summer academic and enrichment program for kids who live at St. Vincent de Paul, teachers and staff had to get creative. Dividing the students into two groups — one for younger children and another for the adolescents — was a starting point.
So was adding a third teacher, Lucy Bruenderman, to assist our program’s co-teachers, Bethany Borgemenke and Megan Fleming.
This adjustment also allowed the teachers to tailor the curriculum into two age-appropriate tracks. The lesson plans and activities were targeted to keep students engaged and focused on strengthening core academic skills, while also having fun. (Pictured: Bethany Borgemenke puts her arm around a student, while teen volunteers assist another child with a worksheet.)

Hometown: I grew up an “Army brat,” so I didn’t have the traditional hometown. I was born in Texas, and I did visit some amazing places while growing up, including Germany, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as Kansas, Oklahoma, and Kentucky. Shortly after we got married, my husband and I settled in Huntsville, Ala., and we lived there for more than 11 years, which is where ourt hree boys were born. We moved back to Louisville in December of 1993.
