Promoting Raider Improvement through Daily Enrichment

PRIDE is sponsored by the Pennsylvania 21^st Century Community Learning Center Program to serve students in grades 2-6.  The purpose of the after school program is to provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours along with activities designed to complement the existing student academic program.
