MSDE Awards UMBC for After-School Program

USI is an out-of-school time program for 1st-4th graders at Lakeland Elementary Middle School, created with two things in mind:  students' academic and personal growth.   UMBC is one of twenty-two recipients of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) Grant Program. View the recent Maryland State Department of Education's Press Release.

This program is three weeks in and will run until mid-May 2014.   


DETAILS
  • This program is in its third week.  It runs Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 2:30-6:30 pm until mid/late May 2014.
  • Lakeland Elementary Middle School is located in South Baltimore, 15 minutes from UMBC.  Transportation to the site is provided.

                Mondays - NASA's Best
