First Week of Summer Program! 🌻

JULY 2023

First Week of Summer Program & Family Day! 🌻

After a great turn out at Family Day, we started our Summer program at Literacy Achieves. In the first week, our students had so much fun with get to know you activities, great lunches, and awesome recess!

Heart House at Literacy Achieves

For the first day of program, our 3rd-5th class did "Find Someone Who" bingo!
Each student had to fill in their card by asking their new classmates fun and interesting questions.

Our K-2nd class shared their favorite ice cream flavor--with the most popular being chocolate!

Our Middle school Class made "All About Me" sheets where they got to write in fun facts about themselves and share them with the class.

This summer, Central Market donated all the lunches for our students! We are so happy they decided to be a part of the Heart House Family!

On the first day of program, our students ate a super healthy meal of mac and cheese, carrots, and a side of almonds!

For snack, our students got to pick from Cheezits or Quakers chewy bars to boost their energy!

Students had a great time at recess exploring the new playground, toys, and tire swing.

While playing with new classmates can be hard, our students didn't hesitate to form soccer teams and try their turn at scoring a goal!

With makeshift goal posts, and one adult on each team, our future soccer stars had a blast kicking it!

Here you can see one of our awesome volunteers during reading enrichment!

Family Day

Our Community & Family Engagement team held a Family Day for Heart House students and their parents at the Vickery Park Branch library!

To beat the heat, our students ate ice-cold popsicles and played cornhole, bowling, and ring toss with our awesome AmeriCorps
members.

Later in the day, we went inside the library for pizza and a movie where our students got to take home awesome prizes like bikes, scooters, and Lego sets!
