AKRON PUBLIC<br />

SCHOOL FAMILIES<br />

Spend the Summer Enjoying Stan Hywet<br />

Stan Hywet Board Member Desiree Bolden of Akron<br />

Public Schools believes in sharing the Estate with the kids who<br />

participate in her Akron After School program. For the second<br />

summer, she took her mission to new heights, doubling the<br />

impact by directing a grant to support a Stan Hywet Summer<br />

Membership Pass for 1,900<br />

K-6 students from across the<br />

Akron community. A similar<br />

program was also funded by<br />

an APS designated grant last<br />

year, in support of the LeBron<br />

James Family Foundation’s “I<br />

Promise” Students.<br />

Student members are<br />

invited to share their free access<br />

with up to four friends,<br />

family members or parents,<br />

each time they visit the estate<br />

We are grateful to<br />

Desiree Bolden and<br />

Akron Public Schools for<br />

their generous financial<br />

gift that is allowing us to<br />

introduce Stan Hywet to<br />

this important new young<br />

audience; and in doing so,<br />

help advance our mission:<br />

Sharing Our Legacy to<br />

Enrich Lives.<br />

from June 1-September 30. In addition to welcoming a cohort<br />

of kids and families who may never have discovered Stan Hywet,<br />

the Summer Pass gives them the chance to enjoy the estate<br />

together. Two Sundays were set aside for an Adventure at<br />

the Mansion, a fun day to explore, enjoy special activities,<br />

music, lunch at the Sassy Dog cart, treats, and simply socializing.<br />

Overlapping with Vintage Days on July 9 and August 6, Adventure<br />

at the Mansion also gives these young members the thrill<br />

of seeing our History First Hand troupe interpret their<br />

roles as 1920s socialites and domestic staff, and to also<br />

experience Vintage Base Ball played in its signature<br />

gentlemen’s style. Musical entertainment is provided by<br />

KIDJAM! Radio and Fairlawn School of Music.<br />
