Richmond Heights Local Schools plans to apply for an Elementary School Nita M. Lowery, 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant for the 24/25 School Year. Our primary partner will be The Sevynteenth Foundation where they will provide tutoring aligned to the school's newly adopted Math and ELA curriculum, project-based and immersive learning experiences coupled with socio-emotional programming. This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local academic standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
