Often the children miss portions of the school year while their families follow the harvesting of various crops; the purpose of our summer programming is to address these educational gaps. Some of the items that are needed for the summer programs include bathing suits and towels, gently used books for students of all ages, small, lightweight blankets (for preschoolers’ naptimes) and toiletries, especially toothbrushes and toothpaste. For information call 856-583-6184.
