What's Happening at Horizons National
There's nothing like summer at Horizons to help students feel ready for school! From strengthening their reading and math skills and experimenting in STEM to building new friendships and exploring their communities, the past few months have been full of learning, confidence, and joy! As students head back to school feeling empowered and ready, we're reflecting on a one-of-a-kind Horizons Summer.

Horizons was honored to host First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Education Secretary Dr. Miguel Cardona for a visit to Horizons at Albertus Magnus College in CT and Horizons Atlanta at the University of Georgia in GA!
On Wednesday, July 21, Drs. Biden and Cardona, along with Ned Lamont, Governor of Connecticut, and Justin Elicker, Mayor of New Haven, joined students, teachers, and parents from Horizons at Albertus Magnus College (AMC) and Horizons at The Foote School for the first stop on their Summer Learning Tour: a showcase of summer learning and its critical role in pandemic recovery.
Hosted by the National Summer Learning Association, National Summer Learning Week is an annual celebration dedicated to elevating the importance of keeping kids learning, safe, and healthy every summer, and ensuring they return to school ready to succeed in the year.
With several sites already getting started in the South and Midwest, the magic of another Horizons summer is here! We can't wait to celebrate joy, community, learning, and togetherness all summer long.
Happy Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, and Mental Health Awareness Month! This is an important time to share stories, expand representation, and ensure that many communities feel seen and supported.
