Programs
The Celebrate Program provides students with extended after school education and learning opportunities with the goal of improving their academic achievements and life skills. Students enjoy being with friends, having outdoor adventures, and participating in fun activities - while parents see the benefit of their child exploring the arts, learning responsible behavior, having help with homework, and reinforcing academic learning. Our data has shown that students who regularly attend Celebrate improve in their math and reading skills. Parental and community involvement is the key to the success of our program.
