August 25, 2017 – Cumming, GA – Next Generation Focus (NGF) is pleased to announce it has received a grant of $2,500 from Norcross First United Methodist Church. These funds will support students who are enrolled in NGF’s anchor program SmarterMe® Academy and Summer, in the form of partial scholarship.
SmarterMe® Academy and Summer Program aim to help PreK-8 students from low-income families, who are a grade level or more behind their peers in reading, mathematics, and other subjects. SmarterMe® Programs provide students with subsidized tutoring on reading, math and other grade-appropriate subjects, as well as STEM enrichment activities. During the SmarterMe® Academy Program students attend sessions four times a week, on weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings during the school year. During SmarterMe® Summer Program students attend classes during the summer months to retain what they have learned during the school year.
“We are grateful for the financial support from Norcross First United Methodist Church, which has also been providing snacks to students at the Norcross tutoring site since 2016. All of the children in our program qualify for free or reduced school lunches, which means many of them go hungry in the evening and on the weekend. Therefore every snack counts for them.” said Amy Sol, the Executive Director of NGF.
