What is the Summer Bridge to Success Outreach? Research shows that students can lose about 20% to 30% of their school-year gains during the summer months. To help combat the summer slide, the United Way of Greater Stark County is offering a resource for our Strong Neighborhoods, Strong Families partner schools. Through generous donations from the community, United Way will be distributing over 400 Summer Bridge to Success Learning Kits, at the end of the school year to Kindergarteners.
Volunteers will work in assembly line fashion, placing items in bags to create kits. Each kit will include: a Summer Bridge Activity Workbook, a selection of healthy snacks, and other learning tools and resources as available. Volunteers will gather a greater understanding around the need and leave the event, understanding the positive impact these kits can have.
