Firewall Centers, will be submitting a proposal in response to the 21st Century Community Learning Center Request for Proposals. Through Firewall Centers’ 21st CCLC program, 50 students at Flamingo Elementary School will be served during the 2019/2020 academic year. Students will be provided with tutoring, Project Based Learning (PBL), cross-curricular activities, and homework assistance to support academic achievement. Project-based learning activities support STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) fields and English Language Arts (ELA) instruction. Daily topical sessions also address student socioemotional needs throughout the year. Daily student programming also includes opportunities to participate in personal enrichment activities such as nutrition and physical education. Centers facilitate five adult family member knowledge sessions surrounding academic supports, socioemotional learning, and health and wellness. General program goals include increased academic achievement, improved decision-making skills, and increased parental involvement.
