Summer Climb shows growth in reading, math skills #dyscalculia

Do you have a child or maybe know a child that dislikes going to school for one reason or another? If you are like most people, then you at least know of a child that dislikes going to school. Most of the time their reasons might surprise you and a student by the name of Brodey Myers is one of them. He dislikes going to school because he won’t get a recess trying to catch up on his school work.

Summer Climb started in response to the number of students in the district who were starting third grade without necessary reading and math skills.
