First day of Summer PLUS today!

June 21, 2010

We had a great start to our Summer PLUS program today!  We had 250 students (grades K-8) in attendance — all were excited for the summer program to begin!

The program’s hours are 9:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., Monday-Thursday through July 29.  The program meets this year at Northfield High School. All students receive a morning snack and lunch.  They work with teachers in the morning and play recreational games in the afternoon.

Many thanks to everyone who made the first day of Summer PLUS a success!

The PRIMEtime Collaborative presented to the school board this week.  Project partners recapped highlights from the year, shared the significant positive outcomes of the program and announced the launch of the website and the “It’s 4 PM, Where are Northfield’s Kids?”

Two PRIMEtime 7th graders charmed the group with their perspectives on the programs they are involved with.

Check NTV this week to watch the presentation.

How to donate to PRIMEtime Collaborative

Now you can make a tax-deductible donation at GiveMN.org to support the important programs of  PRIMEtime Collaborative. Your donation will make it possible to keep these important youth-serving programs running in a time of declining grant funds and significant budget cuts.

Donations made online at GiveMN.org are secure and simple to make, and several area foundations contribute to pay the credit card transaction fees, so 100% of your donation goes directly to PRIMEtime Collaborative. You can make a one-time gift or set up a recurring donation – weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually.

The Northfield Healthy Community Initiative (HCI) is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered with GiveMN.org.  HCI also helps to convene the PRIMEtime Collaborative.  All funds donated through the link above, or through the Donate Now button on our “Donate” page, will be distributed directly to the PRIMEtime program partners.
