2011 Funded Project: Bright Summer Ideas

This grant helped sponsor this first annual innovative program that reached out to culturally and linguistically diverse families in the Northborough community. Over eighty English Language Learners in grades K-8, and their families attended this program at Algonquin Regional High School to promote child literacy skills and teach methods to prevent language and academic regression during summer vacation. Each student received a book, a journal, a disposable camera and film development coupon (donated by CVS), a daily activity calendar and other materials to document their summer activities. Grant amount: $1000.00
