summer camp

Today was the first day of the Summer Dance Camp at Schiel Primary School for Arts Enrichment located in Clifton (by U.C.). Schiel (Grades Kindergarten - 3) is a Cincinnati Public School that is the "Feeder" school for the School for Creative and Performing Arts (Grades 4 - 7). The camp actually drew from three separate schools where Mary Anne Schaeper directs a dance program. The three schools represented were: Schiel, North Avondale Montessori School, and Sands Montessori School. The latter two are "Magnet Schools" of the Cinti. Public Schools. This means enrollment to these schools are through a lottery system and certain criteria must be met. Consequently, registering for these schools is a more selective process than the "Neighborhood" schools in which any student living in the required vicinity may attend.
The dance camp was directed by Mary Anne Schaeper. I have been in charge of processing the registration forms. Once I received the forms, I moved the information from them into an Excel spread sheet and wrote receipts for cash payments. I also had to type, print and hand-out a camp instruction sheet for each of the campers.
One of my main jobs as an intern for Mary Anne, is to be in charge of account balances. As the end of the school year came, I had to identify which student's account had an outstanding balance. When a balance was owed, I made a list of those names and called the secretary at Schiel Primary School, so she knew which kid's report card to hold. If an outstanding balance is left on a child's account, I also sent statements to the parents and have made personal phone calls as well, working out payment plans if need be.
