The Tuckerton Campus is offering a six (6) week Extended School Year program that incorporates Hands on
Education, Pre-Vocational Training, Career Exploration Field Trips, and Counseling and Related Services. Our
theme for the summer is focusing on Career Exploration and Life Skills, as well as participating in the Alex's
Lemonade Stand, which raises money to help support cancer research.
The ESY program is designed to prevent student regression in academic and behavioral areas. It will also help
the student discover personal skills and talents, reinforce positive self-concept, relate school experiences to
occupational choices and work roles, explore the relationship between work and broader life roles, and introduce
the students to lifelong learning.

EXTENDED SCHOOL yEAR PROGRAM 2009
|
As the school year comes to an end, the focus shifts to CLC Tuckerton's Extended School Year program. Our 6-week program is filled with
new learning experiences and field trips for the students. During the final week, the school and students participate in the Alex's Lemonade
Stand event, which raises money for childhood cancer. On August 6th and 7th, 2009, the CLC Tuckerton campus will be host to this event.
The students will be baking cookies and other assorted goodies to go along with the homemade lemonade. We encourage everyone to
come out and lend their support to this good cause.
Background on Alex's Lemonade Stand:
In 2000, a 4 year old cancer patient named Alexandra "Alex" Scott announced a seemingly simple idea -she was holding a lemonade stand
to raise money to help "her doctors" find a cure for kids with cancer. The idea was put into action by Alex and her older brother, Patrick, when
they set up the first "Alex's Lemonade Stand for Childhood Cancer" on their front lawn in July of 2000. For the next four years, despite her
deteriorating health, Alex held an annual lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research. Following her inspirational
example, thousands of lemonade stands and other fundraising events have been held across the country by children, schools, businesses,
and organizations, all to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for childhood cancer. On August 1st, 2004, Alex died peacefully at the
age of 8 -- she had raised over $1 million for childhood cancer research in her short lifetime. Alex's spirited determination to raise
awareness and money for all childhood cancer while she bravely fought her own deadly battle with cancer has inspired thousands of
people, from all walks of life to raise money and give to her cause. Alex's family and supporters are committed to continuing her inspiring
legacy through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501c3 charity. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation has raised over $25
million for childhood cancer research. The result -- Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation has given millions of dollars for childhood cancer
research across the country!
