Major Activities

Activity 2

The aspire 2016 program, a new initiative funded by the junior league of the roanoke valley, works with students who are at risk for academic failure and dropping out of school. One hundred twenty-five third grade students from five roanoke city elementary schools benefitby providing education support, after school tutoring and homework assistance, enrichment learning activities, summer camp opportunities and assistance with guidance with higher education accessibility. We will work with these students throughout their schooling until their high school graduation in 2016. The children are now in high school. A unique aspect of this program is the parental and family involvement. Aspire parents are encouraged to volunteer in learning activities and to take advantage of community resources.

Activity 3

The environmental education center at apple ridge farm offers science and nature field trips throughout the region. Since its inception in 1995, over 35,000 student visits have been recorded. The program focuses on developing a direct appreciation of our natural world while teaching and reinforcing the virginia standards of learning. We host third graders from five inner city schools through a grant program where they explore and study nature five times a year with us free of charge.
