Coastal Learning Center Atlantic offers a six (6) week extended school year
program. The focus of the program is to prevent regression in Academic and Behavioral
areas. This program incorporates Language Arts and Math into hands-on activities as
well as individual classroom lessons.
Students will attend two field trips per week based on educational lesson plans. The
students will learn how academics subjects integrate into daily life while reinforcing
academics that were taught during the school year. This program helps prevent the loss
of academic skills over the summer months.

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!
