A lot has been happening at The Learning Trail and we thought that our friends, neighbors, parents, volunteers, donors and grantors would like to hear about it.
Here are the headlines:
Hosted another 4-week summer camp with over 30 kids and 20 volunteers.
Beginning the 2nd year of Preschool with our Early Childhood Specialist, Meghan Friday.
Welcoming new volunteer tutors from Governors Club, Fearrington, Briar Chapel, and more.
Excited to receive generous grants from Chatham County and Chatham United Way.
Scholarship awards were granted to three HS graduates by the Carol Tomason Legacy Fund.
Just updated our website to include more photos, news and information.
Much fun was had by children and volunteers at TLT’s summer enrichment camp.
Every week our children and volunteers took a field trip to places such as the Botanical Gardens, the Museum of Life and Science, and Sweet Bee Theater. This year’s theme was Mystery and Wonder.
Back at TLT, they worked on reading, math, science, writing and art to enhance their field experiences and keep their academic skills in tact over the summer.
We are so grateful for the generous grants from the Send-A-Kid-To-Camp Fund and the Women of Fearrington who make our summer enrichment camp possible.
Our preschool is ready for another year with Meghan Friday as teacher and Early Childhood Specialist, assisting in curriculum planning for Preschool- 2nd grade.
Meghan comes to us with a strong background as a teacher of Spanish, reading intervention and English as a Second Language. She has already established herself as a trusted teacher within the Nature Trail parent community. Our 3- and 4-year-olds have learned their letters and sounds, colors, shapes, songs, and how to go to school and play with others. Through this program, they will be well-prepared for Kindergarten.
The Learning Trail has over 50 volunteers who help out at the Preschool or tutor Kindergarten through 8th graders once per week
Great news of recent grants from Chatham County and United Way of Chatham County!
This past June we were pleased to hear that we have received a generous grant from Chatham County for the first time, as well as from The United Way of Chatham County once again. These funds are primarily directed to our Early Childhood Program. Along with other grants from community foundations and individual donors, this generosity makes our work possible. Many thanks to all of our grantors and donors!
Scholarship awards granted to three high school seniors, the first graduating class of the Learning Trail tutoring program.
