Dear friends, As SHARP Literacy transitions into the new school year, it is a good time to reflect on and share where we’ve been and where we are going. SHARP’s direction is guided by our mission statement. To that point, our staff and select board members met recently to update our mission statement to better reflect what we are doing now and where we see ourselves going forward. We are excited to share it with you — SHARP partners with educators to foster a love of learning and brighten children’s futures through innovative STEAM-based experiential programs. Last year, we invested in developing new curricula to maintain our relevancy in the world in which we live. Our focus is to provide STEAM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) experiences and programs to urban students from K3 through 5th grade. The content of lessons, the nature of hands-on activities, and the relevance of real-world experiences are all designed to be responsive to what teachers and students want and need. Our Design Through Code (DTC) program highlights SHARP’s emphasis on addressing emerging educational trends and preparing future-ready learners. Piloted two years ago as a 4th grade program, DTC has grown from 3 schools to 11, serving over 1,000 students. In 2019–20, we are adding an advanced coding option for 5th graders at three schools. The program culminates with a design challenge — a collaborative project where students identify and solve a problem using coding and design thinking. They present their project to a panel of professionals. The Design Through Code initiative is possible because of the generous support of vital partners, including A.O. Smith, Foundation, Harley-Davidson Foundation, Kohl’s, , , , Design Fugitives, MIAD, UWM’s Girls Who Code Club and the Women and Girls Fund of Waukesha County. We have just completed our fifth annual Summer Learning Program. The program helps counteract summer slide - the tendency of urban elementary students to lose academic gains from the previous school year. Four curricular options were offered to approximately 375 students in collaboration with 16 community sites: Urban Agriculture, Explore Milwaukee, STEAM Big Leaguers and Design Through Code 2.0. We are grateful to Ryan Braun, the Brewers Community Foundation, Waterstone Bank and We Energies Foundation for their support of this program. We invite you to stay connected to SHARP on social media. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and visit our website — www.sharpliteracy.org. Your continuing interest and generous support are critical to our success. Thank you! Gratefully, Lynda and Tom

My experience with SHARP Literacy has been a real pleasure. The staff provide excellent communication and dedication in bringing authentic and valuable experiences to Milwaukee’s children. As a SHARP partner, I feel thankful for being given the opportunity to connect children with the outdoors through the lens of literacy. By combining carefully chosen topics, related vocabulary and the richness of the outdoors, SHARP educational tours provide a seamless framework for effective, hands-on learning.” – Matt Flower, Environmental Education and Early Childhood Specialist, Urban Ecology Center
