We are well into the school year and I have to say the program is going great! The educators have a lot of passion, the kids are excited, and there’s a lot of learning going on! Many thanks again to the leadership and faculty at Lyndhurst Elementary.
We are now entering phase 2 of our strategic plan – we are applying for grants and asking private donors to support our expansion into 10 schools over the next five years. We need about $1.5M to accomplish all of our goals in phase 2. If you are reading this I hope you will find your way to the donation button on our home page!!
Phase 3 is five years away – we expect to compete as a fully accredited after-school program, reshaping the way Baltimore (and the country?) look at how we spend elementary after-school dollars. Our firm belief is that literacy based programs will be far more effective than what we’re doing now.
