Kaleo Kids

“Kaleo Kids has had a profound impact on the students at Whitman School. The Kensington partnership has offered academic support and fine and performing arts experiences to our students that they might not have had on their own. The students have transformed in the attitudes, work ethics, self-esteem, and self-efficacy.”

“Owen Elementary is excited to be a part of Kaleo Kids (formerly K-Rock) for the 2017-2018 school year. Kaleo Kids has provided an awesome opportunity for our Owen Beavers to be exposed and engaged with the arts. This is something they might otherwise not have an opportunity to do outside of the school setting. All of our students that attended K-Rock loved it and spoke highly of the adults they meet during their time in the program.

What we have found is that some of the students felt more comfortable with students they engaged with during the program. The environment provided students a positive outlet for their interest and built on their strengths rather than their weaknesses. It provided them opportunities to develop leadership skills and challenges they felt they could accomplish.”
