Learning Club volunteers continue to read with students during summer school! We've been meeting on-to-one with students at two elementary schools during the summer session. Before heading back to class, each students has been able to pick out a free take-home book so that they can keep reading beyond our time together.

LC Summer Camp 2026 is in the books! Students and staff gathered to play outside, make art, and share meals. The sun might have been hot this week, but our smiles were bright!
