What does SHARP stand for? Strategic Hands-On After School Resources and Progress Project SHARP is a 21st Century Community Learning Center discretionary grant. It is an after school program for students and their families. Project SHARP provides an opportunity for children to experience a blend of cultural experiences. It is a college bound program for grades K-12. Project SHARP is proud to be a family and student involvement program in after school activities that are geared towards academic and personal enrichment in a fun, positive and creative way. _____________________________________________________ Services Project S.H.A.R.P provides: *A safe, educational and fun environment for kids after the school day ends *Opportunities to develop new skills and interests *Tutoring for students who need extra help with learning *Continuing education opportunities for parents _____________________________________________________ Why is Project SHARP Necessary? *Over 28 Million school-age children have both parents or their only parent in the workforce. *At least 5 million children - and possibly as many as 15 million - are left alone at
home each week *Many children, especially low-income children, lose ground in reading if they are not engaged in organized learning after school. *Experts agree that school-age children who are unsupervised during the hours after school are more likely to receive poor grades and drop out of school than those who are involved in supervised constructive activies. *Statistics show that most juvenile crime takes place between the hours of 3:00 and 6:00
pm, and that children are also at much greater risk of being the victims of crime during the hours after school. ______________________________________  Spring Drivers Education is upon us!!!!
