Whereas St. Mark Youth Enrichment has provided significant leadership in the area of
community involvement in the education and well-being of our youth,
grounded in the principle that quality summer programs are key to helping our
children become successful adults; and Summer Learning Day is a day to
reflect on the importance of keeping youth learning, safe, and healthy every
summer; and ensuring they return to school in the fall ready to succeed in the
year ahead; and
Whereas: Summer learning programs are proven to maintain and advance students'
academic and social growth, keep children safe and healthy during the
summer, and send young people back to school ready to learn; and

libraries, museums, recreation centers, camps, and businesses in our
community contribute to the well-being of youth through summer
programming; and
Whereas, the City of Dubuque is committed to investing in the health and safety of all
young people by providing expanded learning opportunities that will help
close the achievement gap and prepare young people to compete in the
global economy.
