DISCOVER YOUR POTENTIAL WITH SUMMER LEARNING WEEK
Although summer looks a little different this year, summer is certainly not cancelled! Here at the Y, we are adapting and innovating our summer programs to ensure your family can access quality summer learning opportunities in order to avoid the summer slide. With the help from the National Summer Learning Association, we can do just that.
National Summer Learning Week is a celebration dedicated to elevating the importance of keeping kids learning, safe, and healthy every summer, ensuring they return to school in the fall ready to succeed in the year. From July 6 through July 11, we will be highlighting different activities you and your children can engage in. Check in to our social media each day during Summer Learning Week to see what activities we will be engaging in.
