Jubilee!

Thanks to our generous partners, Duke Energy, Jersey Mike's, CPCC, Mrs. North Carolina Nichelle Sublett, Mecklenburg County, and Homer with the Charlotte Knights, we had an amazing Jubilee! this week! All FSP scholars and other Freedom School scholars from Winston-Salem, Columbia and Greensboro gathered together at the Grady Cole Center to celebrate National Summer Learning Day! The day consisted of one massive Harambee!, and visits from Homer the Dragon, Susan Thomas from Leading to Change and Nichelle Sublett, Mrs. North Carolina! Thank you to all of the volunteer who helped make the day run smoothly!

Belk Farm Visit

Freedom School scholars from Montclaire Elementary enjoyed a visit to Belk Farm this week. Their activities included gardening, playing on inflatables, and eating a picnic! Big thank you to Tim and Sarah Belk for making this possible and all of the wonderful volunteers!
