Leap into Language

The RSIG (Refugee School Impact Grant) Leap Into Language Summer program, which ran from July 2nd to July 27th this year, provided unique opportunities for refugee students, at the middle school level, with English learning activities and components of an active summer camp. The program was able to serve 37 students total, 27 being refugee students.

With incredible partnerships between the Lancaster- Lebanon IU13, the School District of Lancaster, Millersville University, and Eastern Mennonite Missions, the program fluently operated and offered students the opportunity to connect with others from different parts of the world, while using language and their personal gifts to grow in their pursuit of learning.
