COORDINATORS NEWSLETTER - JULY 2017

Greetings coordinators! We hope this newsletter finds you well and your summer is off to a great start. For those running summer programs let's not forget about the importance of addressing summer learning loss for our students most in need. Additionally, we hope you have taken some time to reflect on successes from last year and will use them as catalyst for next year. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Damion Morgan - Co-chair for the Coordinator's Network
