The Cedar
Heights Learning LunchBox Program, sponsored by the West After School
Center as part of the Cedar CLC summer program, invites students back to
school every other week to work with reading teachers for the purpose of
sustaining their reading skills and further advance vocabulary,
comprehension, fluency, and other key literacy skills that sometimes
regress during the summer months. An average of 55-65 students
have taken advantage of this program and receive new books to read
between visits to the Learning LunchBox Program. While at school, the
students also enjoy the FEED OHIO Summer Lunch & Enrichment Program
available at the Cedar Heights Playground. To learn more about the Cedar
CLC, click

What do Early Learning
Initiative (ELI) students (3, 4, and 5 year olds) like to do on a
hot, sticky summer afternoon? Play in the water! As you can see, they
had fun learning how to share and cooperate with each other - and the
adults that watched had fun, too! |
