Mercer Street Friends

That’s a wrap on week two of Summer Bridge! 😎☀️

Our Community Schools students have been busy building their math and reading skills, strengthening social-emotional learning strategies, and preparing for a successful return to the classroom this fall. But Summer Bridge is about more than academics – it’s about creating opportunities for students to explore, discover, and have fun along the way!

Students from across all four participating schools have already enjoyed exciting enrichment field trips to America's Grow-a-Row, Colonial Bowling, and Trenton Thunder Baseball!

We’re proud of everything our students have accomplished in just two weeks and can’t wait to see how they continue to learn and grow throughout the summer!

Today, Mercer Street Friends is proud to welcome Randall West as our new CEO, who steps into this role with deep respect for our organization’s legacy and confidence in our future, grounded in the strength of our dedicated team, volunteers, supporters, and community partners.
