News from Chicago Lights, our nonprofit community outreach arm, includes preparations to launch Summer Day 2020 online this coming Monday!
Summer Day Begins Monday!
Our first-ever online Summer Day program begins this Monday, July 6! Over the course of four weeks,
Chicago Lights Summer Day will focus on three key areas: academics, socio-emotional learning, and continuing the relationships between mentors and Tutoring students through virtual meeting space.
Grades 1–6 will focus primarily on reading and math for academics, while grades 7–8 will learn about financial literacy and Spanish. Grades 9–12 will focus on STEM. In addition, all students will participate in mindfulness and meditation through Peace Club and other socio-emotional learning through art and healing circles.
Each child registered in the program is also receiving a backpack with some books, activity kits, and snack packs for the summer.
We wish everyone a wonderful Summer Day!
