Further Falmouth: After holding community forums and presenting to
stakeholders in a variety of settings, the "brutal facts" of the challenges in front of our teachers and students were very evident to all who attended. Students were growing but it wasn't enough to close the gap and the need for after school and summer programs is critical to support our students and reduce barriers for learning. I led a team in writing 21st Century Grants to provide funding. When we missed receiving the grant by a few "points", several stakeholders(including GCIPL Parents & the Falmouth Mayor)embraced this idea and worked with our community to purchase a building to offer free tutoring, meals and many other services for kids. AMAZING! Check out all the smiles!
