Target offers summer learning tips through Facebook
7/2/2010
Understanding that education is the cornerstone of communities, Target supports schools with giving programs, volunteering efforts and partnerships with educational organizations. For the first time, Target is taking this message directly to guests on Facebook through a partnership with Search Institute, offering weekly tips to help parents keep kids active and engaged while school’s out.
The goal of the "Play + Learn" feature is to help adults stay involved in their child's academic and developmental growth. According to the National Summer Learning Association, all students experience learning losses when they don’t engage in educational activities over the summer. "Play + Learn" will provide new tips throughout the summer with specific themes, like "Take a History Lesson" or "Library Love."
Please view the new Play + Learn tab on the Target Facebook page to explore the new site and learn more.
