Education

Valley of the Sun United Way has launched Attendance Matters as part of the Supporting Attendance Across Maricopa County project.

Scholastic and the Valley of the Sun United Way have partnered together to facilitate powerful school-to-home connections. Conveniently bundled in a friendly tote bag for learning at home or on the go, this English and Spanish bilingual kit comes packed with over 80 fun and educational activities for families to do with their children in preparation for school.

Each summer, students can lose knowledge equal to two months of learning. To prevent summer learning loss, we are partnered with out-of-school summer centers to add tools to retain and improve literacy skills for kindergarten through 3rd graders.
