Newark students engage in Saturday Academy for Academic Success, supported by local businesses
East Side High School organizes the Saturday Academy annually, providing an opportunity for 11th-grade students at the school to enhance their skills in English Language Arts and Math in preparation for state testing. The school community has shown strong support for this initiative, with local businesses such as Seabra's Market and McDonald's generously contributing gift cards on a weekly basis to be distributed among the students. By fostering collaboration between education and the community, the Saturday Academy not only enriches the students' educational experience, but also emphasizes the significance of community involvement, ultimately benefiting both the students and the larger community.
