KELF, the Kent Education and Learning Foundation

We are excited to announce the launch of two new programs at Kent Center School.

KCS & Beyond, a visiting alum initiative and The Review, an annual literature and art publication, will swing into action in January.

KCS & Beyond will bring KCS alum to the school to talk with 7^th and 8^th graders about their education experiences and career choices. The goal is to broaden the scope of their thinking, by showcasing the wide array of opportunities that are available. We want to help students to make connections between what they are learning now to what they might do in the future. Empowering them to make choices and understand associations between academic disciplines; ultimately we want to create excitement and enthusiasm for exploring new areas. The alum will share with the classes how what they learned at KCS, and high school, helps them currently; how writing, or foreign language, or art, or science, or math or technology (or anything else) is a part of what they do; and what were some of the influences that effected them along the way.

The Review, an art and lit magazine, will be open for submissions from all KCS students, a wide array of genres will be showcased. The Review will be published annually in the spring. Local writers will work with students mentoring them to fine tune their story, poem, article, essay, play, or prose for publication.

If you would like to participate in either program please contact us.
