Our Summer Literacy Academy invites 1st and 2nd grade students to continue to learn and grow through the summer! The reality is that most students lose about two months of grade level skills over the summer months so our goal is to prevent that from happening! Volunteers will facilitate this fun and creative experience by helping in literacy, art, dance, science activities and more!
