Testimonials From Districts
“Partnering with LIFT Enrichment has created a great opportunity for our students. We’ve expanded from 20 kids in K-2, and 20 in our 3-5 program, to 80 kids participating across our campuses. Learning about nutrition and exploring different cultures supports all students and provides endless possibilities.”
