Program Highlights:

Kidz Lit
Kidz Lit is an all encompassing reading program. The goal is to bring good books to life. A variety of curricular components are integrated to encourage children to think and apply knowledge. Art, drama, music, writing, discussions, and games reinforce and expand upon a child's existing skill level. With Kidz Lit, children get excited about books.

CATCH
CATCH is a coordinated school health program which builds an alliance of parents, teachers, child nutrition personnel, school staff, and community partners to teach children and their families how to be healthy for a lifetime. The four CATCH components - ‘Go For Health' Curriculum, ‘CATCH' Physical Education, ‘Eat Smart' Nutrition Guide, and family ‘Home Team' activities - reinforce positive healthy behaviors throughout a child's day and make it clear that good health and learning go hand in hand.
