Our first circle time of the new school year!

We loved coming together, getting to know one another, sharing smiles, and starting our year as a classroom family. ❤️ It was such a sweet way to begin our new school year, and we’re so excited for all the learning, growing, and fun ahead!

Here’s to a wonderful year filled with friendship, laughter, and lots of special moments! 📚✨

📚 Just ONE week until we welcome our LEARN scholars and families back for the new school year!

Now is the perfect time to:

✅ Finish school supply shopping

Keep Their Brain Growing This Summer☀️

Summer is the perfect time to nurture curiosity and a love of learning. Research shows that reading for just 20 minutes a day can help children maintain important literacy skills and reduce summer learning loss.

Try these simple ideas:
📚 Visit your local library.
📖 Read together before bed.
🎧 Listen to audiobooks on road trips.

Let your child choose the book they want to read. Little habits today help build big success tomorrow.

What is your child's favorite book this summer? Share it in the comments. We are always looking for great recommendations!

Happy Independence Day from LEARN Charter Network!

As we celebrate our nation's independence, we reflect on the values of freedom, opportunity, and community that help shape brighter futures for every child.

We are grateful for our students, families, educators, staff, alumni, and community partners who make the LEARN community stronger every day.

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and memorable Fourth of July weekend!

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and father figures who help shape bright futures through their love, guidance, and unwavering support.

Thank you for encouraging our scholars to dream big, work hard, and believe in themselves. Your impact reaches far beyond today and helps inspire the next generation of leaders, learners, and changemakers.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at LEARN!

Juneteenth marks a defining moment in American history. 🌟
