Dear Stout Summer Discovery Program Students, Parents and Families,

We are thrilled to have our students join us for a summer full of fun, exploration, learning, and growth. Whether the student attends Stout Middle School or are joining us from our sister school, O.L. Smith, we are excited to be part of your summer journey. We are also very happy to have the incoming 6^th grade students attend from the Stout and Smith elementary feeder schools as well! The first day of the Stout Summer Discovery Program is on Monday, June 23, 2025.

Our program is designed to keep students engaged and inspired through a dynamic blend of hands-on learning, skill-building activities, creative projects based on themes, field trips, and exciting adventures. From STEM challenges and team-building games to arts, literacy, and real-world problem solving, every day will bring new opportunities to learn and discover in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.

Some of the great things to look forward to include a cooking experience with Zee the Cook, bowling at Thunder Bowl Lanes, a trip to the movie theater to watch the new Jurassic Park movie, petting fascinating animals during the Exotic Zoo presentation, and much, much more! I cannot wait to enjoy our program adventures alongside all of you!!

At Stout, we believe that summer is not just a break from school—it’s a chance to spark curiosity, build confidence, and foster meaningful connections. Our dedicated staff is committed to creating an enriching experience where each student feels valued, encouraged, and motivated to try new things.

The district’s transportation department is working to finalize the busing schedule (pick up times and locations) which should be complete by the end of the week. Once the schedule is completed, I will send the drop off and pick up information out to you in another email. You may also feel free to contact the District Transportation Department at 313 827-3301.

Students will all receive a complimentary breakfast and lunch each day of the summer program.

Parents/ Families: We look forward to partnering with you to ensure our students have a summer to remember! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Here’s to a fantastic season of discovery!

Warm regards,
Mrs. Abdelbaki
