Thanks from the 21st CCLC LEAP Afterschool Program

The 21st Century Community Learning Centers LEAP Afterschool program would like to give a sincere and heartfelt thank you to the many people and organizations who made our summer camp a huge success.

Special thanks goes to our financial supporters including the Department of Education and Early Development, and the Gaguine Foundation; community partners including The Alaska Food Bank, Shawn, Bess, Andrew and Claire from Discovery Southeast, Damen Bell-Holter from Sealaska Heritage Foundation, Joel Bos our Master Gardener, Theresa Reynolds from Cooperative Extension, Noelani Kamahele and crew from Dimond Park Aquatic Center, MJ Grande and crew from Juneau Public Libraries, Juneau Youth Football League, and Bridgette Godkin from Food Services of America.

Finally, we want to give a special thanks to the families, teachers and support staff of the Juneau School District. Without you, this opportunity would not be possible.
