Darien Middle School Students Can Get Ready for School this Summer

Darien, CT, July 15, 2014 – Middlesex Middle School will be the location of the evidence-based S4 Study Skills workshop for middle school students. The workshops foster academic achievement by teaching students key study strategies that help them learn and achieve better academic success.
