Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Office: (563) 552 -3082 Cell: (563) 590 -8438 Email: rellisCdubuque.kl2.ia.us rellis373 c gmail.com On behalf of Shirley Horstman, Director of Student Services for Dubuque Community School District, we would like to thank you for your support for the 21 Century Community Learning Center grant which we received early April. This grant will support the guiding principles of the Five Promises and will offer programs to engage students from George Washington Middle School and Thomas Jefferson Middle School in meaningful after school activities. Academic enrichment programs as well as additional activities designed to complement these programs will be offered. The grant also has a very important family component which will allow us to offer a variety of family literacy programs and sessions designed to understand adolescent development. We are excited to offer these opportunities through the grant in collaboration with the many agencies and committees in the Dubuque community who are working to deliver the Five Promises to every child. We want to thank you for your offer of free transportation to students in this program on the "Jule" bus line. As you stated in your letter of support, "transportation is often a large barrier to our youth ". Including this critical component in the city's commitment speaks to your strong support for the youth in Dubuque. We look forward to working with the city as we implement the 21 Century Community Learning Centers grant. 1/ /711//7/
