PUBLIC NOTICE: INTENT TO APPLY
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Shawnee and Tecumseh Public Schools
March 26, 2024
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Shawnee, in partnership with Tecumseh Public Schools, is applying for funding under the Oklahoma State Department of Education Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Grant for Barnard and Cross Timbers Elementary Schools. The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century 21st CCLC program is authorized under Title IV, Part B of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. The program allocates federal funding to establish community learning centers for after-school and summer programs. These centers offer academic, artistic, and cultural enrichment to students from high-poverty and low-performing schools, aiming to
meet state and local standards in core subjects like reading, math, and science. Additionally, the program aims to provide students with a wide range of hands-on STEAM activities, leadership opportunities, and community service involvement. It emphasizes the involvement of families and the community in the educational process.
The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century 21st CCLC program will allow us to continue the successes we’ve had through the current ESSER III High Quality Afterschool and Summer Learning Program, which was launched in 2021 and has helped Tecumseh students receive high-yield programming in academic success, character and leadership, and healthy lifestyles. The program provides a daily snack, homework
help, literacy tutoring, hands-on STEAM lessons and activities, family engagement opportunities, community engagement, and a variety of physical recreation opportunities. After-school youth professional staff collaborate with school administration to supplement daytime lessons and reinforce learned concepts by offering enrichment activities.
Our program is working with a coalition of community partners including Tecumseh Public Schools, Pioneer Library System, Central Tribes of the Shawnee Area, Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art, Citizen Potawatomi Nation, BancFirst, Gordon Cooper Technology Center, and Avedis Foundation. If you are interested in a community partner role or to volunteer in the program, contact Julio N. Sanchez, The
Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Shawnee Director, at julio.sanchez@uss.salvationarmy.org.
