Helping Club Members Overcome “Summer Slide”
July 20, 2020
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley is proud to work with Great Schools Partnership by providing after-school care to students in four Community Schools: Lonsdale Elementary, Northwest Middle School, Norwood Elementary, and South Knoxville Elementary. The Community School strategy is to create an environment that engages communities and families in public schools to coordinate relationships and resources that break down the barriers that get in the way of student learning. By partnering with stakeholders, these schools benefit students greatly, creating conditions students need to thrive and making the schools trusted neighborhood centers.
“I can’t say enough about the incredible relationship between South Knoxville Elementary and our Boys & Girls Club that meets at our school every day. The staff are caring and nurturing while working hand in hand with our school to provide the best educational experiences for our kids.
Parents comment on how the school is open from 6:00 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily – the fluid flow of services is a testimony to how Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley – South Knoxville Elementary, encompasses the philosophical tenets of the high expectations found at South Knoxville Elementary. I am proud to work with such a dedicated and professional staff.”
Dr. Tanna Nicely, Principal, South Knoxville Elementary
