This program seeks to build strong, literate, and empowered children prepared to make a difference in themselves, their families, communities, nation and world today. By providing summer reading enrichment for children who might otherwise not have access to books, the Freedom Schools program plays a much needed role in helping to curb summer learning loss and close achievement gaps.
- Freedom Schools runs from June 18 - August 3, 2018, Monday through Friday, from 8AM - 3PM at Pattillo Middle School.
- Space is limited to 48 rising 1st - 3rd graders, 48 rising 4th - 6th graders, and 24 rising 7th and 8th graders.
