The children and family members accessing programs at the Center are in <br /> dire need of supplemental services. Through the proposed partnership with Kidzu Children's Museum <br /> we will be able to provide expert led STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs for <br /> elementary and middle school aged youth throughout the summer months and special access <br /> programs at Kidzu Children's Museum for children and families throughout the school year. Such <br /> programming is essential for our youth especially during the summer school break. According to the <br /> National Summer Learning Association "High-quality summer learning programs have been shown to <br /> improve reading and math skills, school attachment, motivation and relationships with adults and <br /> peers." <br /> Kidzu's process of uniting STEM topics with innovative programming techniques creates engaging <br /> learning experiences for our children. Alongside access to the museum for STEM Nights and Open <br /> Access Sundays we can create multi-level family engagement experiences and support the growth of <br /> our community in multiple ways. <br /> We are thrilled to partner with Kidzu Children's Museum and we look forward to starting the program <br /> in July, 2017. <br /> Sincerel <br /> 14- /Dr. Sue Florence, President <br /> Cedar Grove Neighborhood Association <br /> 919-218-6745 (cell) <br /> 919-245-2640 (Cedar Grove Community Center) <br /> 5800 NC Highway 86 NorthHilisborough, North Carolina 27278 919-245-2640 <br />
