DID YOU KNOW?

Within 24 to 48 hours after learning new concepts, students often begin to forget information unless it is reinforced or applied immediately? That's why, during summer break, even the best students forget lessons they have learned during the school year. However you plan to fill those lazy days of summer, don't take a break from learning. Participate in summer activities that can help you continue to learn in a fun way while you're away from the classroom.
