JJ Legacy Summer Program
My Choice of Weapons to HealMy Community

Welcome to JJ Legacy's Summer Program - Sankofa In Me!

This Summer's Theme is based on the value of Sankofa, looking to the past to guide our future. Our ancestor Gordon Parks, who chose to use his camera as his choice of weapon to heal his community is the inspiration for this year's Summer Program. Scholars will be encouraged to lean into their gifts and talents and interests to live out their purpose and focus on their choice of weapons' to heal their community!

We are excited to offer a summer program at JJ Legacy. Students will have the opportunity to learn new things and strengthen current academic skills as well as engage in Enrichment Activities. Some of the enrichments we are planning include, art, drumming, dance, photography, gardening, quilting, music, chess, physical fitness, and MORE!!!
