We are excited to announce our free summer literacy program! We will be working with children who have finished second grade but not yet started third grade. The goal of the program is to increase the students' interest and ability for reading and writing. Let's start third grade ready to go!
The LEAP program uses literature to jump into writing and problem-solving. Students in LEAP choose a problem in their world and work to find solutions to it. The solutions are then passed on to stakeholders in the community so that the children’s ideas can be put into action. Everything we do is student-centered. LEAP teachers believe that these are smart children who have a lot to say. The project’s goal is to show young students that reading and writing well will help them use their voices to change the world.

| LEAP teachers work with small groups, giving lots of one on one attention |
LEAP will start July 5 and run through Aug. 4. The program will meet from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday at Great Grace Church, 410 Oswego St. Classes are small. Each teacher works with only 4 or 5 students, so each child gets individual attention.
Registration for the program is now open. For more information and to apply, click here. Feel free to contact our program director, Tabor Fisher, with any questions.
