Our Learning and Exploring at Play Program (LEAP) recently celebrated their annual LEAP graduation. This event celebrated both our LEAP RCSD students and our UR undergraduate tutors! Thanks to the hard work of our tutors and team leaders, each of our students received personalized gifts and had the opportunity to partake in exciting post-ceremony activities🎉🎁

Once our LEAP families went home for the day, we took the time to celebrate our undergraduate seniors who will graduated from the program this May. Each senior received a hand-picked book, and those who worked as team leaders received a handmade frog plush made with love by LEAP’s program manager, Katie Hardin🐸💚

Shout-out to our tutors and team leads for a great year, we will miss you over the summer! And to our seniors who are graduating, we wish you all of the best in your journey ahead🥰

A couple weeks ago, our Learning and Exploring at Play Program (LEAP) celebrated their annual LEAP Graduation. Each of our K-5 students were recognized for either their transition into the next grade up in LEAP, or in the case of the 5th graders, for moving on to bigger and better things!

Each of our LEAP students received a personalized portfolio filled with their work from the past year and designed by their partner tutor. Along with their portfolio, they also received a hand selected book📖📚

Following the ceremony portion of the event, our LEAP students, tutors, and families came together for lunch from India House and activities planned by their tutors including: a dance party, temporary tattoos, face painting, hand painting stoles for our graduating tutors, and more🎨

We will miss seeing our kids for the next few months but hope they have a summer filled with love and laughs☀️🌈⛱️
