What started eight years ago as a program for struggling young readers has evolved into a comprehensive literacy development project.

During this year's Summer in the Village, TLT provided children with the opportunity to play with green screen technology. 

The two-week summer program attracted 150 students in first through 12th grades to Elon's campus as part of the It Takes a Village Project. The camp combined academic instruction with areas including music, dance, technology and art. 

Many of â€‹Alamance County’s academically gifted students gathered at ¸£ÀûÑÇÖÞ¹ú²ú¾«Æ· for continued learning.

 

The funding from Oak Foundation will support a growing program that benefits struggling young readers in Alamance County.

Elon’s Village Project is now operating at five local public schools with help from many student groups including athletics, Fellows and fraternities.

North Carolina's public television station visited ¸£ÀûÑÇÖÞ¹ú²ú¾«Æ· in July to report on the success of an educational program that inspires and assists young children from the local community with learning to read.

A July 24 closing ceremony marked the completion of the two-week camp that allowed 75 students to spend time on Elon’s campus participating in academic classes and other engaging activities.
