Ending a school year in the midst of a pandemic, after three months of distance learning, has been a challenge. Children have suffered, unable to see their friends and family, practice sports and other activities, or travel outside of their immediate neighborhood. How do we want our children to remember this unique moment in their lives?

Summer is upon us, and we are meeting the needs of students seeking to counteract learning gaps and situate themselves for next year’s challenges. We don’t advocate for extending the school year, but keeping the learning engine Engaged is essential, especially for summer learning in 2020.
