Nita M. Lowery 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant

In accordance with the application instructions from the Illinois State Board of Education, Christopher Elementary School hereby submits this notice of our intent to apply for the FY25 Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21stCCLC) grant. We are partnering with the West Franklin Area Historical Society.

We are excited to deepen our impact within these school communities by pursuing 21st CCLC funding, which would provide academic enrichment activities for students during non-school hours along with meaningful family engagement opportunities. This grant would offer students and families a variety of programs, services, and activities designed to complement the standard academic day and respond to community-specific needs.
