Congratulations 21st Century Learning Center

We were notified by Speaker of the House Robert A. DeLeo’s Office that the 21st Century Learning Center at the Cummings School is the recipient of a $50,000 grant to supplement enrichment programs for fourth and fifth graders attending the school. 21st Century Director Kathy DelVento has conducted a terrific program at the school that truly is a national model for educational programs of this nature. Any time you can complement a student’s education during the traditional school day with a well-structured, academically-enriching, and enjoyable experience — that’s a very good program to have for our students.

Winthrop was one of just 13 school districts in the state to receive the grant, which shows how well thought-of the program at the Cummings School is. We thank Speaker DeLeo for delivering the great news and we’re sure our powerful legislative leader was instrumental in making this grant a reality.
