RARE After-School Program at Hammond Middle School

The RARE program fills a void by providing targeted “at promise” children in the middle school with new experiences and knowledge and bridging the digital divide while seeking to increase student achievement levels. RARE incorporates: Programming Flexibility by exploring areas that may not be a part of the standard school curriculum; Technology Tools that support computer literacy, academic achievement, critical thinking, and other developmental skills; Parent Engagement and Community Partnerships that assist in providing a diverse range of activities for program participants. RARE is a program of the Concerned Citizens Network of Alexandria.
