This summer, Best Foot Forward launched our refreshed Foundations Summer Scholars, an engaging program designed to keep students learning, growing, and thriving throughout the summer months. With a focus on strengthening core reading and math skills, the program combined meaningful academic instruction with hands-on activities that made learning both fun and confidence-building.
Through bi-weekly, targeted small-group instruction, students continued building essential literacy and math skills, reinforced concepts learned during the school year, and closed learning gaps to help them return to school ready for success. Every lesson was intentionally designed to reduce summer learning loss while encouraging curiosity, perseverance, and a love of learning.
Family engagement also played an important role throughout the program. Sessions created opportunities for connection, shared learning, and practical take-home strategies that supported students beyond the classroom experience.
As summer comes to a close, our Foundations Summer Scholars are heading into the new school year with stronger skills, greater confidence, and a solid foundation for success. We are so proud of all they accomplished this summer and can’t wait to see them continue to learn, grow, and shine throughout the school year!
