2023 Summer Program
"11th Month" Helps Students Bridge Achievement Gap Thank you for your support of Bellesini’s Summer Program. The summer months pose many challenges for students in urban areas like Lawrence. Studies show that a large part of the achievement gap that exists between low income and middle class students is the result of a lack of intellectual engagement during the summer months. Low income students actually lose academic skills between June and September. Bellesini’s “eleventh month” of school prepares our students for success in preparatory high school. For four weeks each summer, our students continue their academic classes each morning while enjoying enrichment and recreational activities in the afternoons. Bellesini’s Summer Program prevents summer learning loss while allowing our students to continue to make academic gains, enjoy safe summer camp activities, take educational and fun field trips, and visit high school and college campuses. Thank you for making this summer a special one for a deserving student!
