Summer Learning Challenge

We challenge you to continue your learning throughout the summer! Below are some suggestions to help our children continue to work on their mind, body and leadership skills throughout the summer.

The intent of this webpage is to provide families with resources to continue learning at home and continue to prepare them for the 2024-25 school year and prevent summer learning loss.
