ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM PROVIDES REAL-WORLD OPPORTUNITIES FOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT
The Adopt-a-School program assisted and supported Clark County School District (CCSD) schools identified as at-risk, with in-school and after-school programming and activities, creating opportunities for continued “parent, pupil and principal” interaction.
The goal of the Adopt-a-School program was to provide support and specialized in-school programs, after-school extra-curricular activities, and active-learning opportunities to students in grades 6-8.
Adopt-A-School provided real-world project opportunities that developed important social, emotional, and cognitive learning skills for at-risk students who have very limited opportunities or the financial means to otherwise engage.
