cgm's summer camp has started

With recent reopening attempts, and following the department of public health’s guidelines, we’ve started summer camp. We have a reduced number of participants, social distancing reminders, and have our kids wear masks indoors. It’s not the camp we hoped to have at the beginning of the year, but we always love spending time with our students.

free educational websites for kids

Did you know our Pre-K director is also the dean of the College of Education at Faulkner University? Dr. Leslie Cowell put together a list of free educational websites to utilize during this time of COVID-19’s global pandemic impact as we are all, mostly, housebound and with school being cancelled.

school closures and covid-19 (coronavirus)

State superintendent Eric Mackey announced earlier today the closure of all K-12 public schools in Alabama starting March 18th.

CGM follows suit with MPS holidays and closures during the academic year. MPS will already be closed on Monday, March 16th. Starting Monday, CGM will not have any after school programs until MPS resumes a normal schedule. MPS will evaluate school openings on or around April 3rd.

UPDATE: Governor Kay Ivey cancelled the rest of the current academic school year. School officials should be getting in touch with parents regarding online approaches to finish the remainder of the academic school year. Seniors are still expected to graduate in June.

We will post updates as they become available.

2019 by the numbers

2019 is gone and we’ve compiled some stats of what our last year looked like.

As always, thanks to all our supporters who help make this work a reality—-that we can indeed change the odds for youth in west Montgomery!
