GITC Summer Strummers Are Thriving Through Making Visual Art with GITC Partner, ArtReach San Diego!

Dear Friends, Family Members and Faculty Members,
Thanks for joining us as our summer enrichment clubs swing into action! 
Congrats to each of you who participated in a successful launch last week, opening 9 
free Summer Summers Clubs in campuses across San Diego for 270 children. 

Our clubs are either oriented for children entering grades 1-3 in the fall, or entering grades 4-6. The images below are from different locations and grouped by the kind of enrichment experience they reflect. The photo above shows Dig Down Deep founder, Mindy Swanson handing out seed packets to students at Marvin Elementary.

We're sharing photos from various locations to show the breath of what students are beginning to learn with Guitars and Ukes in the Classroom between now and July 12, each day, from 12 pm-5 pm. Thanks to support and coordination from the San Diego Foundation and the San Diego Unified School District, we had a great first week of music, drama, visual art, puppetry, and garden education!  This first collection will give you a taste of what is going on each day!
