Keep Kids Thriving This Summer with United Way
School’s out, but learning does not have to stop! At United Way, we are working hard to make sure kids in Whitfield and Murray counties stay engaged, curious, and on track for success this summer.
Our Keep Kids Thriving program, part of our year-round Read United initiative, helps children fight the “summer slide”—the learning loss that can happen when school takes a break. Research shows that this slide can cause two-thirds of the reading gap between low—and middle-income students by ninth grade. But we are here to change that!
