This summer, the YMCA of Greater Tulsa focused our efforts on closing the achievement gap many of our kids face when they are out of school for three months. Our goal is to help kids retain the knowledge they learned over the last school year returning in the fall ready to excel.
We believe it is so powerful when agencies partner to achieve greater results than they ever could alone. Last week, we celebrated the culmination of a month long program at Skelly Elementary with a circus! Community Action Project, Head Start graduates spent a month participating in the Scholars on the GO program. CAP teachers provide a morning of academics, followed by College for Kids sessions provided by Tulsa Community College. They spent their afternoons up and moving, with a special circus arts program. The Scholars on the GO program served 164 children, with a growing waiting list the entire month.
