Each year, YES participants at LVA will explore a unique enrichment theme. This year, our theme is Full STEAM Ahead ! 

Our students are going to keep on rolling....

 This summer our students are excited to continue learning about the vast STEAM related fields of education. We are bringing in new enrichments such as pottery, photography, and Crime Scene Investigation Unit to enhance the hands on experiences of our students. Our program will continue to offer Self Care, Nature Nutritional Skills,Physical Activity, and Culinary  as enrichments as well. We look forward to providing those real world connections within our community to act as catalyst in stimulating our students' minds. Please join us and we continue to keep on rolling towards academic and enrichment success.
