Crofton Cares recently made a generous donation to Breakthrough Public Schools in support of their 2022 Summer Literacy Experience program. Breakthrough Public Schools is one of the highest-performing networks of free, public charter schools in Ohio with five campuses serving nearly 3,400 students throughout the city of Cleveland.

In the summer of 2022, Breakthrough Schools launched a summer literacy program to ensure that their scholars graduate as readers, with a focus on using best practices surrounding teaching foundational literacy skills at K-2 and when teaching comprehension in all subjects. The Summer Literacy experience, which averaged 37 participants per day, was focused on teaching K-2 scholars the foundational reading skills necessary in small groups while they also were having fun.
