#ThrowbackThursday to this 1996 community meeting in Reservoir Hill which resembles many of the current initiatives being spearheaded by neighborhood groups today. Items like this one from our Community Data Hub demonstrate that the neighborhood wouldn't be what it is today, nearly 30 years later, without the efforts of engaged neighbors committed to making a difference. You can view archived flyers like this one, as well as newspaper clippings, photos, and more, via our Community Data Hub! 🔗 communitydatahub.org

One of the key components of our summer program is providing students with the opportunity to engage with a variety of subjects and experiences throughout their time away from school. We especially love projects that allow youth to express themselves creatively, like this activity for 5th-8th graders led by Baltimore Clayworks!

In an effort to assist our youngest learners as they build their foundational computer skills, SFNC's IT Specialist, Mark, recently outfitted our computers with larger, more visible cursors and color-coded mice. 🖥️ He also installed GCrompis, a high-quality, open-source educational software that students can use to learn how to click, drag, and explore other topics like reading, math, and more!
