Adams 14 Solicits Comments and Suggestions for Before and After School Programming Opportunity

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (October 8, 2009) – Adams 14 welcomes your comments and suggestions.

The District is applying for federal funding through a 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21 CCLC) grant to support before and after school, and summer school programming at area schools. The grant award, which will be coordinated with community partners in Commerce City and throughout the Denver metropolitan region, will provide additional academic and enrichment activities at Monaco and Hanson Elementary Schools, and Hanson and Adams City Middle Schools.
The Colorado Department of Education has identified these schools as eligible recipients for the grant.

If selected as an award recipient, Adams 14 will provide programming that maximizes opportunities for students to improve performance and increase achievement. The District has received two previous 21 CCLC grants, which supported successful programs for 250 students each at Alsup and Dupont Elementary Schools, and for 200 students each at Adams City and Kearney Middle Schools.

The grant application deadline is Tuesday, October 20, and comments and suggestions from the community are welcome through Friday, October 16. Please contact Joe Kovacs, Adams 14 Grants Specialist, at 303.853.3221 or via email at jkovacs@adams14.org, or Patty Gleason, Youth Program Coordinator at the District’s Intergenerational Learning Center at 303.853.5578 or via email at pjgleaso@adams14.org.
