Keep Kids Engaged in Summer Learning
Dear Carnegie Friends:
If you have school-aged children, you know how much they love the unstructured, fun-filled days of summer. But even as they
enjoy themselves, you can help them navigate one of the few potential harms of summer: learning loss.
On average, students lose the equivalent of two months of math and reading skill during their 10 weeks of summer, according
to the U.S. Department of Education. More than half of the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income youth can be
explained by the children’s unequal access to summer learning.
The Carnegie Center has answers. In the pages that follow, you’ll find numerous opportunities – all free or low-cost – for your
children to engage in fun summer activities that will help them keep learning.
• Camp Carnegie is a series of fun, half-day, weeklong camps for middle-schoolers focused on professions like movie-making
Neil Chethik
and writing. Price for campers from low-income families: $25 for the week. (See page 18.)
Executive Director
• Free reading, writing and math classes are available for elementary kids. (See pages 16-17.)
• The Carnegie Center Reading Room in Triangle Park is open all summer. Stop by Triangle Park and pick out a free book from the Reading Room
to take home. (See front cover and page 5.)
• The Back-to-School Bash will load the kids up with backpacks full of school
supplies for next school year. It’s on August 2, and it’s free. Registration
required. (See page 19.)
Donate Books!
Help the Lexington community by donating
new or used books to the Carnegie Center!
All donations go to the Arnow Reading Room
in the Carnegie Center or our new outdoor
Reading Room in Triangle Park (see page 5) for
readers to bring home! We are especially in need
of children’s picture books, but all books are
welcome (no textbooks or magazines, please).
All donations are tax-deductible. Thank you!
If you aren’t able to arrange classes or camps, you can still help your kids over
the summer by reading with them, visiting museums together, or doing a daily
crossword. Just a few strokes of learning over the summer helps a child stay
focused all year round.
Cheers,

CARNEGIE
SPOTLIGHTS
Jenna Kane
Volunteer
I started volunteering for the Carnegie Center in June 2015 through the community service program
at my workplace, Kentucky Employers’ Mutual Insurance (KEMI). Since then, I have volunteered at
the Carnegie Classics event “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Celebration, and I participate primarily in the monthly Family Fun and Learning Nights on Tuesday
nights. Family Fun and Learning Nights (page 19) are free to the public and celebrate a different
theme each month like “Peace” or “Summer.” Parents and their children get to participate in several
fun activities, eat dinner, take home a book to read, and maybe even see a performance. Be sure to
sign up online to get goodies!
One of my favorite parts about Family Fun and Learning Nights is that there is always a creative
activity for the kids to do. We paint fireworks, make bead necklaces, and decorate cards for refugees
just to name a few. I’ve been painting and drawing since I was little so I really enjoy interacting
with the kids as they create. I love seeing their personalities shine through their art work. At a time
when arts programs are losing funding or being cut altogether from our public schools, I think it’s
so important that children have the opportunity to be creative. I love that the Carnegie Center
provides that opportunity free of charge to whoever wants to take it!
The Carnegie Center makes learning fun and accessible to everyone in our community and that is
why I keep coming back.
*If you’re interested in being a Carnegie volunteer, see page 20 for contact information.
Braeden Collett & Dudley Stone
Tutoring Pair
Braeden Collett, a 3rd grader in the Spanish Immersion program at Maxwell Elementary, came to the Carnegie Center for tutoring because he felt he had
struggled as a 2nd grader and was also struggling as a 3rd grader. “I think it’s great because the tutors are never mean and they always help you. The
tutor won’t tell you the answer, so you figure it out. They don’t want you to struggle. They don’t want you to get down on yourself.”
This is Dudley Stone’s second year as a volunteer tutor. He learned about the
Carnegie Center’s tutoring program from a friend, and appreciates the free
Carnegie Center class tutors receive each season. “I know several people that are
involved with the Carnegie Center, and one of them told me about the tutoring
program. At the time I thought I was in need of some good Karma, and the
Carnegie Center is a ten-minute walk for me.”
“Dudley used to tutor my brother,” Braeden said. “Now he’s tutoring me. We like
to write equations on the board. We like to read books. We like to play games, but
we play games that include intelligence. We do intelligent things. We like to lie in
the reading corner and read books.”
Dudley enjoys learning along with Braeden, especially since some of Braeden’s
assignments are in Spanish. “Sometimes they bring assignments using math
processes that are new. Another challenge is that I never really know what Braedon’s going to be working on. Fortunately, both Braedon and his brother
are very bright and they’ve taught me a lot.”
Braedon says he would recommend the Carnegie Center Tutoring Program to others. “You’re never going to have a bad tutor. They will never let you
struggle. They will always believe that you can do what you’re working on. There’s never anything bad going on. There’s never any fights or yelling. It’s
never really too loud. Dudley definitely helped me. He’s always believed in me from the start. He always knows that I can do it.”
*If you’re interested in joining the tutoring program, see page 20 for registration information.
