Not all students at Abbot Elementary had equal access to summer learning opportunities.

Abbot represents a cross section of the larger community:

• Over 1/3 of students eligible for the free lunch program

• Nearly 40% representing an ethnic minority

In 2011, Principal Pam Sica recognized the detrimental effect summer learning loss has on every student and the cumulative effect it has on her most at-risk students.

Principal Sica contacted ThinkStretch to help students in grades K-4 combat their summer brain drain and promote a community of learning at Abbot.
