Alicia's Fruity Drinks

The program:

“FOR FAMILIES: Designed specifically for Latino families, our 10-week summer programs are infused with cultural images and themes. You’ll find our suggestions for wonderful Latino children’s literature, as well as literacy activities to develop your child or student’s reading and writing skills.”

“GROUP PARTICIPANTS: This year, we’re excited to announce that groups can participate for free, too! Registration opens on May 1st and it’s simple. Just register your group below and you’ll receive an official Group Number that you can share with your students. They enter that number when they sign up online (at home) and then all their information will be tracked. You’ll be able to know what books they’ve read over the summer and more depending on which program you assign them.”
