Greetings,

School is out and it’s time for sun, fun, and learning! This list of providers was designed to help families identify the wonderful opportunities that are accessible for our families in District 5. Please take the time to review the many programs, sites, and activities that are available to your family this summer. According to research, the average student loses an estimated two months of grade equivalency in math and reading over the summer months. Let’s help prevent our children from falling behind in their education and let’s spark their minds this summer by providing opportunities for learning in the areas of math, literacy, and enrichment activities. We invite you to visit www.sanjosebeyondthebell.com to find other exciting summer opportunities that are available throughout our city. Thank you for being an advocate for your children’s education. We wish you a safe and fun summer. Please do not hesitate to contact our office at (408)535-4905 for additional questions or share your concerns. Sincerely,

Councilmember Xavier Campos

MACSA will be providing a Junior Giants Program. Junior Giants , the flagship program of the Giants Community Fund, is a free, non-competitive and innovative baseball program for boys and girls ages 5-18 years old.

In 1994, the Fund sought a program that would give at-risk kids a meaningful partnership with community-based organizations and provide an alternative to drugs, gangs and crime. The Junior Giants Program was therefore established and now serves 20,000 children in 85 leagues across California and into Nevada and Oregon. The Community Fund provides all of the uniforms, equipment, and training necessary to run a league as well as tickets to select Giants games so the youth can experience a Major League Baseball game.

But more important than the fundamentals of baseball, Junior Giants focuses on the four bases of character development -- Confidence, Integrity, Leadership and Teamwork -- and offers programs in Education, Health and Violence Prevention. This framework is integrated into the Junior Giants handbook distributed to all of the kids and parents.

Summer Jazz Camp is a two-week learning lab for talented and committed middle

and high school music students with backgrounds that range from intermediate to the pre-

professional level. Students learn from professional musicians/educators and collaborate

with students just like themselves who are from the Greater Bay Area and beyond.

Students engage in two weeks of daylong immersion into all aspects of Jazz. Included in

the program of study is one-on-one training on individual instruments, music theory, ear

training, rhythm classes, and various levels and styles of improvisation. Each student will

be placed into a small ensemble and a big band, and select advanced level students will

have an opportunity to participate in the Latin Jazz Big Band or the Summer Jazz Camp

‘A’ band which will focus on playing the repertoire of historically important Jazz

composers such as Duke Ellington, Buddy Rich, John Clayton, Thad Jones, and more.
