“Elevate your summer, empower your future.” That’s the motto at Elsie Whitlow Stokes Public Charter School as students remain engaged with reading and math during Stokes’ summer program, funded in part by Mayor Bowser’s Summer Strong DC grant. The Stokes Summer Program includes reading and math instructions, enrichment activities like cooking class, and students sharing their hopes and fears as part of social emotional learning. Thank you for continuing to make learning fun for District students in the work to prevent summer slide. It was a pleasure to see your program in action.
