        The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) holds 16 grants that service approximately 2,300 students at
        38 program sites throughout the District. The program offers academic and personal enrichment opportunities during out-

          •  Conduct over 200 family service events to engage and support parents with the development of the whole child.
          •  Offer over 300 expanded learning opportunities to students through a partnership with Primetime.
          •  Offer over 50 professional development opportunities to staff.

        Middle School Afterschool

        The  Middle  School  Afterschool  (MSAS)  program  helps  young
        people establish strong and positive relationships with adults.
        The intention is  to build on  the young  person’s strengths and
        provide a safe and supportive environment that encourages
        healthy relationships with their peers as well.  The 35 MSAS
        programs were able to support its participants’ social, emotional,
        cognitive, physical, and academic development by:
          •  Celebrating the annual “LIGHTS ON!” event to show all of the
             wonderful ways MSAS is keeping the lights on afterschool
             for our students and why the programs are so important.
          •  Implementing skills for learning and life.
          •  Continued partnership with Palm Beach County Parks and
             Recreation.
          •  Formulating partnerships with the Cox Science Center and
             First Lego League to prepare our students for the future
             while exposing them to STEM.
