HISTORY OF ESCWR SUMMER SIDEKICKS
The program debuted in Lake County in the summer of 2021 and focused on remediating unfinished learning and integrated student supports to offset the COVID-19 pandemic challenges for young people via pandemic relief dollars. The program expanded to Geauga County in the 21-22 school year to Berkshire Local, and then in the 22-23 school year ESCWR Summer Sidekicks program again expanded in Geauga to Cardinal Local Schools.
NEW! ESCWR Summer Sidekicks is being funded via Martha Holden Jennings Foundation. With this partnership ESC of the Western Reserve is able to keep programming at no cost to students and families.
