Summer of Learning
Join us this summer for online programs and activities for kids of all ages with the theme “Every Day is Earth Day.”
About Summer of Learning
We have offered Summer of reading and learning programs for youth since 1919, but this year, Summer of Learning will look a little different. We are working with teaching artists to create and deliver action--oriented online programs. We are also partnering with Seattle Public Schools to provide virtual field trips to the Woodland Park Zoo and Creative Advantage/ARTS to help us make art every day. This summer may look different, but it will still be filled with fun, learning and reading!
Summer will begin early this year, as soon as you get your reading log--you can start reading! Download and print a copy or pick up a paper reading log at one of the 26 Seattle Public School Meal Sites.
