Born in Fort Worth, Committed to Our Community

Since starting our first program at Lily B. Clayton Elementary in the 1970’s, Clayton has partnered with FWISD to provide quality after-school enrichment programs to students across the district. As part of our shared commitment to the families of FWISD, Clayton actively seeks out funding opportunities to support free after-school and summer enrichment programs at FWISD schools. We are proud to have contributed more than $14.8 million to support academic enrichment activities and social and emotional learning to thousands of students since 2011/12 through these grant-funded programs.

Clayton also provides fee-based, licensed after-school programs to FWISD families. Ten on-campus locations offer both before- and after-school programs and include time for homework and a variety of fun, hands-on enrichment activities. Financial assistance is available for qualifying families through our Clayton Scholarship program, which is supported by the generosity of Clayton’s donors, our Board of Directors, and foundation partners.

No matter which Clayton program a FWISD student attends, our academic and individual enrichment activities are designed to bring out the best in kids while giving parents peace of mind knowing that their children are in a safe, nurturing environment. We look forward to many more years of preparing FWISD students to live great lives!

BUILDING COMMUNITY AND SERVING FAMILIES

When Clayton Family Engagement Specialist Mary Hernandez found out that many children at West Handley Elementary were without food on weekends, she reached out to Community Food Bank. Thanks to this partnership, 238 meals were delivered each Friday to West Handley for children to take home.

D. MCRAE ELEMENTARY BRINGS HOME THE GOLD!

Clayton Kids from D. McRae learned important lessons about design, building, safety and teamwork and won awards for “Best Blueprint”, “Most Creative”, “Most Spirited”, and “Safest” car at the 2018 Road Warrior Derby sponsored by the Benbrook Police Officers Association and FWISD. In addition to awarding D. McRae the Grand Prize trophy, the Benbrook Police Officers Association donated $600 to support after-school activities.

KEEPING LITERACY IN FOCUS Clayton Youth Enrichment provides free school year and summer programs to more than 1,300 students at 10 FWISD schools through a 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant. Summer programs supported by this grant are dedicated to providing enrichment opportunities that encourage students to keep learning even when school is out.

As part of our FWISD summer enrichment program, Clayton was proud to partner with Read Fort Worth in their 2018 Summer Scholars Cohort. Students in this pilot program participated in classes and tutoring, received meals, and took field trips at no cost to their families. Most importantly, they all improved their reading skills and graduated from the program ready to read to learn.

New Things Can Be Scary

Imagine you have never seen a suspension bridge before, much less walked across one. What would it take for you to believe it was safe? Clayton Kids at Hazel Harvey Peace Elementary enjoyed reading Twenty-One Elephants and Still Standing, a book by April Jones Prince, that got them thinking about this very thing. The book is about the Brooklyn Bridge and how residents did not have faith in the strength of the bridge when it was built. To prove its safety – and bring in some great publicity - PT Barnum marched 21 elephants across the bridge to show how strong and safe the bridge was.

After reading the book together, our students designed and built their own bridges. Then we wondered - were their bridges strong enough to hold 21 elephants? We tested them using small elephant shaped weights and learned which designs were successful and which ones got flattened. What a fun way to use our imaginations while learning literacy, STEM, and teamwork skills!

SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IS KEY TO ACADEMIC AND LIFELONG SUCCESSDid you know that Clayton’s after-school programs are great places for kids to learn and practice strong social and emotional skills? In January, 2017, students in our after-school programs at Clayton’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers joined Clayton’s Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Pilot Program. After 18 months, our evaluation data tells us that kids in the pilot have made strong gains in their ability to manage their emotions, make responsible decisions, and build healthier relationships with both peers and adults.

WHAT IS SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING?SEL is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?A growing body of research shows SEL is a key to advancing student achievement in school and increasing their opportunities for success in school, work, and life.

• Students in SEL programs showed an 11% gain in academic achievement • SEL program participants also improved classroom behavior, increased their ability to manage stress and depression, and had better attitudes about themselves, others, and school.

WHERE DOES CLAYTON FIT IN?Clayton’s mission is to provide quality programs that foster the emotional, social, and educational development of children, youth, and families. We provide opportunities for FWISD students to connect with supportive adults trained to help them develop and apply SEL skills that promise to improve student relationships with their school, their community and broader world. Clayton is committed to integrating SEL into all of our after-school and summer activities by 2020. Please watch for more information in our newsletters as we expand the pilot program to bring SEL-focused enrichment programs into every school that we serve.

and emotional skills as measured by the Devereaux Student Strengths Assessment

CLAYTON YOUTH ENRICHMENTINTERNATIONAL FESTIVALIn December, Clayton held its 1st Annual International Festival at Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth. More than 400 guests attended this spectacular event where 81 of Clayton’s after-school programs each featured a different country from around the world. From Argentina to Zambia, our after-school programs explored foods, games, art and other cultural aspects of each country represented. Students created displays, learned dances, and prepared foods to share with friends, family, and the community at the Festival.

SUMMER FUN ATCLAYTON CAMPSParents don’t take the summers off and neither does Clayton. More than 1,300 kids gathered at Clayton Summer Camp locations across Tarrant County to play together, learn together, and visit cool places. Our summer day camps focus on developing the same social, emotional and academic skills as our after-school programs but with a summer vibe that includes water balloons and snow cones along with field trips to museums, water parks and other fun places around town. Summer learning is just a part of summer fun for Clayton Kids!

CLAYTON’S BEST YEAR EVER!Clayton Friends -

Reviewing the data for our annual report is always interesting. It gives us an opportunity to celebrate Clayton’s successes and identify those places where we can grow. This year the view was particularly rewarding as Clayton just completed our best year ever with a record 7,576 children participating in our programs at an all-time high 85 sites. That is a lot of lives and families positively impacted! We are both proud and humbled that so many Tarrant County parents entrust their children to Clayton.

As exciting as those numbers are for us, we also completed important foundational work for the future. Our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Initiative Pilot evaluation data showed that Clayton after-school programs help kids develop their decision-making, self-management and relationship skills. The growth shown by the more than 1,100 students in the pilot programs is preparing them to be academically successful and to become responsible community leaders and parents. Based upon the strength of the pilot results, Clayton is moving ahead to embed social and emotional learning into every one of our programs by 2020.

While this annual report celebrates 2017/18, it also points the way to the future for Clayton Youth Enrichment and the children and families we serve. Thank you for your support as we grow our programs to prepare even more of tomorrow’s leaders for great lives!
