We wanted to share a few awesome summer opportunities for our community ☀️

Check out programs from the Rifle Branch Library, Aspen Science Center, and our Access Basketball Camp 🏀

If your child is enrolled in BoostCamp, you can disregard any overlapping dates, but we still wanted to share these options for the rest of the summer.

Meet Ms. Heather Clover!

Ms. Heather joins us from Highland Elementary and has been teaching XLR8 at Graham Mesa this year. She’s a proud mom of 3 and just welcomed her 10th grandchild—what an amazing milestone!

She loves traveling and spending time outdoors, but her favorite part about working with Access is simple—the kiddos. She truly loves them and shares that she’s learned so much this year alongside her students.

We’re so grateful to have Ms. Heather as part of our XLR8 team! 💙

Hello everyone! I go by Ms. Kay or Ms. Pearlman! I love teaching and being apart of education! I love to craft and anything with glitter on it!

I absolutely love working for access, it has been one of of the best experiences!! I love how hands on everything is and how much fun the students and teachers get to have. I had a blast during the summer and even in the afterschool program!

Huge shoutout to Aspen Science Center and their amazing interns for coming into Riverside and absolutely rocking our engineering class! 🔬🚀

Students dove into hands-on learning—designing and analyzing how to build their own catapults, then wrapping it all up with an awesome final project: creating s’mores “kitchens” using just cardboard boxes and foil. 🔥🍫

It was incredible to watch the creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork come to life. Every student approached the challenge in their own unique way, and the results were amazing!

Thank you again to the Aspen Science Center interns for inspiring our students and making learning so much fun! 🙌
