JACKSON SENIOR HIGH
COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER TO HOLD BANQUET, JUNE 11
June 7, 2001
The Miami Jackson Senior High School 21st Century Community
Learning Center will hold a banquet to celebrate the end of
the school year at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 11, at the school,
1751 N.W. 36 Street. Parents and students who have
participated in this after-school program will be recognized
for their dedication and outstanding service to the
center.
The 21st Century Community Learning Center is a
community-wide, neighborhood- and school-based effort
sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education and operated
by Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Now in its third year of operation, the 21st Century
Community Learning Center has resulted in increased academic
performance and a decreased dropout rate and has been
instrumental in assisting parents in becoming involved in
their children's education.
Community Learning Centers use a holistic approach in an
attempt to bring schools and families together. The success
of this program is predicated on the importance of community
networks and family support.
