This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
The 2020-2021 school year sees the continuation of the wonderful, far-reaching partnership between Holy Trinity School and Darletta Berry-Johnson and the team from the 21st Century Community Learning Grant. Our students will have the opportunity to become involved in afterschool clubs like Robotics, Yoga and Zumba, Pottery Wheel, Bricks 4 Kids, Holiday Crafts, Scrapbooking, Local History, Sports Instruction, Homework Zone, and summer enrichment. Most clubs run from 3:00 to 4:30, and information is provided for each club as it becomes available. We even have mentoring opportunities between our older and younger students. What a wonderful way to stretch learning, build relationships, and connect Holy Trinity with the Community! This endeavor supports our efforts to educate the whole child.
