Sunshine Club

The Sunshine Club is an initiative that identifies students who are chronically late to or absent from school. The school guidance counselor checks in with these students on a daily basis and meets with them weekly for breakfast. These students are also given alarm clocks and taught how to use them so that they can learn how to be responsible for waking up to get to school on time. After students have demonstrated regular attendance, they “graduate” from the program and new students are introduced to the program.

Gamematics

Gamematics is an initiative designed to emphasize the importance of math during family activities and to help incorporate games with key math concepts. The program provides families with easy-to-assemble games to practice math at home.
