Project Literacy: After-School Literacy Program (5th - 7th Grade)

Description

We are pleased to announce the launch of "Project Literacy," a collaborative effort between Parkridge Community Center and The Family Learning Institute (FLI) aimed at providing high-quality academic support for elementary-age students (grades 2nd through 5th) and middle schoolers. The program, facilitated by The Family Learning Institute, will commence with refreshments before educational sessions. Registration for this limited opportunity will be on a first-come, first-served basis, with each group accommodating a maximum of 15 students. Please note that registration will close on October 1st.
