2nd Grade Take-home Academic Kits
Last year, volunteers assembled 4,000 pre-K kits for immigrant kids in Granite School District, resulting in a reported 7% increase in test scores throughout the district. This year, the district has produced a similar kit to be used as a take-home academic kit to augment the learning of second graders throughout the district. We’ll assemble 5,000 of these kits on the day of service.
