2025 Fall Component Information
Our in-person programs will include:
-
LEAP groups will meet in schools and community spaces to complete homework, engage in literacy activities, and have fun projects including arts, sports, dance, computer learning, and community walks.
-
Start Date and Times: The program will begin Monday, September 29th, and will end Thursday, December 11th. It will run from 3pm to 6pm Mondays through Thursdays.
-
If your child is not feeling well or someone in your house has COVID-19 symptoms, please keep your child home. If there is someone who is vulnerable to COVID-19 in your household (for instance a senior citizen or someone whose immune system is compromised), then it may not make sense for your child to participate in our in-person program.
