ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — A summer enrichment program in Asheville focuses on rising first graders in low-income households. One of the goals of the program is to stop the "summer slide."
For six weeks, 15 students from five schools in and around Asheville are taking part in Horizons at Carolina Day. The goal is help them retain what they've already learned and get them excited and prepared for the upcoming school year.
