Mahalia Jackson Elementary wrote a grant to the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and was awarded $750,000.00 (over the course of three years) on May 6, 2013. The purpose of the grant is to increase the educational achievement of all Mahalia Jackson Elementary students through supporting the Great Start Academy, which is a comprehensive academic enrichment program. Great Start Academy The school day will be extended by one hour Monday ‐Thursday and all students will be provided with homework assistance, academic interventions, enrichment, and a healthy snack. The extended day will also allow for the restructuring of the school day so that the students who need the most support are given more instructional opportunities. The school day will be staffed by certified and highly qualified teachers and paraprofessionals from the Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB). The staff will participate in job‐embedded professional development weekly and will analyze student data to improve instruction. The after school program will be offered to students, especially those who reside in Central City, during the hours of 4:00 ‐ 6:00 p.m. Monday ‐Thursday. In lieu of payment, parents of the students who participate in the after school program will be required to attend at least one class or program offered at the center per month. The students will be engaged in structured activities with their peers that include arts, music, athletics, cooperative team‐building games, cooking lessons, martial arts, academic games and foreign language Snacks will be provided and the students. Summer school will consist of a 4 week program for the students who are most at‐risk for not being on level by the next school year. Research suggests that low‐income students experience significant learning loss over the summer months, compared with children from higher income families who have access to travel, camps, and other enrichment activities. The students will receive academic enrichment from certified teachers and school based support staff. Other areas of support will be provided through partnerships and will cover cultural resource programs, enrichment activities, and field trips.
