Fast Start Academy, Marietta City Schools & the Cobb Community Foundation

This summer, the Fast Start Academy鈥攍ed by Dr. Megan Adams, Virginie Jackson, & Sanjuana Rodriguez, formed a new partnership with the Cobb Community Foundation to strengthen its impactful 4-week summer literacy program. The Fast Start Academy brings together KSU students and faculty to provide tutoring and educational activities for elementary students who are reading below grade level. Offered at no cost to families, the program aims to boost literacy skills while offering positive role models. Students receive daily literacy instruction and are immersed in 鈥渃ollege life鈥� through museum visits, music, and meals. Each day begins with structured literacy blocks, followed by interactive read-alouds, writing activities, and hands-on learning experiences. College education and social work majors serve as teachers and gain valuable hands-on experience meeting the unique needs of every learner. Marietta City Schools is a valued partner, generously providing breakfast, lunch, and bus service for participating students. Thanks to a generous $38,000 grant from the Cobb Community Foundation, the program was able to build literacy skills, foster confidence, and help students and future educators grow together.
