grantee update
This past summer with the support of the Out of School Time (OST) Collaborative grant from SV2, Sand Hill and Packard Foundations, East Palo Alto Tennis and Tutoring (EPATT) opened a new site at Cesar Chavez School in East Palo Alto -- branching out from their main program on the Stanford campus. They ran a 5-week summer program for thirty 6-8th graders from East Palo Alto that included an hour each of tennis, life skills and reading each day.
