PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT:
Perry Central Elementary Lights-On
Congratulations to the 2015 Indiana Out-of-School Time Champion, awarded at the Summit on Out-of-School Time Learning April 14th. Showcasing their practices of using data to drive decisions and tell stories, Perry Central Lights On was one of 20 nominees. 6 finalists presented 5-minute presentations and the Summit audience voted for the final award winner. Specific Perry Central marketing strategies include: distributing flyers describing the program and sharing statistics, showcasing the afterschool robotics teams during basketball games, including program statistics and images each monthly school newsletter & on the school website. In addition, they share this information with their elected officials. "Community members feel a great sense of ownership and pride in Perry Central, and we have developed a lot of trust with parents and the greater community. When we share data and stories with them, they listen. We have been able to use this unique collaborative spirit to leverage resources, to overcome obstacles, and to sustain this program for fifteen years. It is stronger now than it has ever been, and we will continue to use data to improve and to share this important work with decision-makers, lawmakers, and anyone who will stand still to listen."
