Summer Lab Directors Back for 2008

Summer Lab 2008 is pleased to announce the return of all program directors from last summer. This provides both continuity and consistent quality control to sustain the level of excellence to which the programs aspire.

Meghan Janda, a teacher and coach at U-High, enters her eighth summer as Adventure Kids Day Camp Director, while Summer School Director Cecilia Mullon, also a fourth-grade teacher at the Lab Schools, has implemented a number of new course offerings for this — her fourth summer — in the director's role.

Lab School music teacher Katy Sinclair, and Lab-alum, former Lab teacher and now professional musician and music instructor Marc Piane are heading up Summer Lab's theatrical program, Summer Lab on Stage, for the sixth year in a row. Debbie Ribbens, now in her sixth year as Sports Camp Director, also returns.
