After School in a Colonia.
Castillo, Yolanda; Winchester, Martin
Educational Leadership, v58 n7 p67-70 Apr 2001
In 1999, two schools in an impoverished border town in Texas received 3-year federal grants from the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program to support varied after-hours activities: academic tutoring, computer literacy, "ballet folklorico," arts and crafts, guitar instruction, and service learning. Students and parents now have a safe place to learn. (MLH)
