Before heading off for winter break, Education United students showcased their semester-long research projects in presentations that highlighted the academic growth and confidence gained through the program. Students took full ownership of their projects, from research to presentation, demonstrating the skills they developed throughout the first half of the school year.
First graders researched endangered animals, second graders explored the world of insects, and third graders investigated ecosystems. Each student presented their findings to an audience of proud parents and family members who gathered to celebrate their achievements. The presentations were also displayed in a gallery format, allowing attendees to view the depth and creativity of each project.
The event showcased more than just academic learning. It reflected the program’s success in building student confidence, engagement, and independence. Seeing young learners take charge of their own research and present their work with enthusiasm underscores the impact of Education United’s comprehensive approach to after-school programming.
Now in its fourth year, Education United continues to serve ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families across the region. The program removes barriers to academic success by offering homework help, arts and crafts, fitness, STEM activities, ballet, and soccer at four elementary schools: Brookside Elementary School in Ossining, Highview Elementary School in Hartsdale, Tappan Hill Elementary School in Tarrytown, and W.L. Morse Elementary School in Sleepy Hollow.
As we celebrate the semester’s student achievements, we look forward to welcoming everyone back after winter break for continued learning and growth!
