Welcome to the Hornell City Schools SHADOW program website.

Shadow is offered at Hornell as a result of a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant awarded by the New York State Education Department. SHADOW is designed to provide out-of-school-time learning experiences for youth and their families. Hornell's program was funded to provide:

• an innovative, summer leadership program that will kick off in 2009. Fifteen students in grades 7-9 will be selected to participate in a program focused on environmental conservation and outdoor recreation. Summer SHADOW will include an ambitious service learning project in collaboration with the City of Hornell and help our young people develop leadership skills that they will carry into the fall program.
• an after school program - starting in the fall of 2009 - offering homework help, tutoring, recreational and other activities to promote student leadership.
• a morning, study skills program for all of Hornell's 7th graders designed to teach organizational and learning strategies needed for success in high school and beyond.
