Where does BEE SMART happen?
Our home-base is in South Baltimore, but students spend time at multiple locations throughout the duration of the summer:
Who operates the program?
BEE SMART is made possible through the hard work and dedication of both full-time and seasonal Living Classrooms staff. Full-time staff work throughout the school year to develop the curriculum, coordinate program logistics, communicate with families, secure funding, and to recruit student participants. In the summer, BEE SMART brings on a fabulous team of Reading Specialists, STEM educators, and a Bilingual Parent Liaison. Living Classrooms BEE SMART staff are known for their passion for teaching and commitment to developing the "whole child".
Does it cost money to participate?
Thanks to our generous funders, BEE SMART is a free program!
However, space is limited. |
This project is also made possible through the support of South Baltimore Gateway Community Impact District Management Authority, Abell Foundation, and the Hinkey-Benson Family Fund.
