Join us to celebrate and elevate the importance of summer learning all next week! ↴
Are you ready for National Summer Learning Week?
National Summer Learning Week kicks off on Monday (July 15)! Once just a national awareness day, the event has transformed now into a week-long celebration with daily themes around literacy and learning; the arts; wellness, health and sports; STEM; and community leadership. New this year is Discover Summer, a website created by the National Summer Learning Association that is full of resources to help students and families prepare for a great school year ahead. And, as a reminder, the NC STEM Center also has you covered this summer and all year long with programs and events happening throughout North Carolina. Social media users can participate in the fun next week using #SummerLearningWeek.
Please enjoy this edition of your e-Update. Connect with us to share feedback. |
