"We are using our city’s assets to their full potential to help all children learn and grow. Schools simply can’t educate our children alone. Around every corner must be a place that helps prepare them for college and beyond."
~Mayor Thomas M. Menino
Students from the Orchard Gardens K-8 Pilot School and the John Marshall Elementary School spent their summer learning at Thompson Island, one of 15 nonprofit community partners serving 34 Boston Public Schools through the 2011 Boston Summer Learning Project. Check out our video documenting their experiences on the island! |
On December 9, 2011, leaders from the state and city government, Boston Public Schools, local and national funders, and community program providers came together at the Boston Summer Learning Forum. Speakers included Mayor Menino, Dr. Carol Johnson (BPS), Kristin McSwain (Boston Opportunity Agenda), Ed Pauly (Wallace Foundation), and Jennifer Sloan McCombs (RAND Corporation). |
