CCLC Partnerships

Roadrunner offers a high quality before, after school, and summer program including intervention and enrichment opportunities for all scholars.  Our program is funded through the 21st Century Grant and offered at no cost to scholars and families.  In our 11th year of the grant, we have about 260 scholars taking advantage of over 30 course offerings during the school year and 100 scholars attending summer programing.  During the school year, our scholars can choose from courses such as tutoring, athletics, art, Spanish, crochet, archery, martial arts, gardening,Wright Flight, community service, and reading clubs.  During the summer our scholars participate in 4 week camps that include academic and enrichment courses that include reading, math, PE, music, and STEM.  

The goal of our program is to provide enrichment and intervention opportunities for our scholars, strengthen community partnerships, and build family partnerships beyond the school day.  We do this in several ways.  We create partnerships to build our robust course offerings.  Our courses are taught by Roadrunner staff members, parents, and college students.  Additionally, we partner with community organizations, such as Wright Flight and NASA, to enrich our course content. We partner with community organizations, such as the Avra Valley Fire Department, the local VFW, and the Roadrunner PTO, to plan fun family engagement events that enable us to strengthen our partnerships with parents.

At Roadrunner, we are dedicated to educating the whole child and being a good community partner and resource.  The 21st Century Grant allows us to provide kids the opportunity to explore their interests and passions as an important part of their educational experience.  It provides us the resources to build a free community program so all families have access, regardless of their circumstance.  In our 11 years, we have created a program that provides much needed experiences and services to an under-resourced rural community.
