We are excited to announce that Blue Hills Adult Education has received a grant from First Literacy to fund Digital Literacy for the Future, a 4-week summer course designed to meet a critical need for our students.

Many of our students have limited digital literacy skills. This can make it challenging for them to access the online resources that teachers use and often limits them to in-person classes, preventing them from taking advantage of online learning opportunities.

This new program provides hands-on training to help students:

• Navigate and use digital tools with confidence
• Access online learning platforms and resources
• Improve their ability to participate in both in-person and virtual classes
• Strengthen their English language learning through expanded access to resources

Thanks to the generous support of First Literacy, our students are gaining the digital skills they need to succeed in the classroom, in the workplace, and in their daily lives.

Thank you, First Literacy, for investing in our students’ future!

In the spirit of giving and spreading warmth this season, the students of Blue Hills Adult Education came together for an inspiring cause.

Amidst the winter chill, our dedicated students rallied to support families in need within the Dedham community. Their mission? Collecting essential cold-weather apparel—hats, gloves, mittens—to ensure that every individual stays warm during the colder months,

Thanks to the overwhelming support and contributions from our students, we were able to gather an abundance of winter essentials and thoughtful gifts, making a significant difference in the lives of families facing the challenges of the cold season.

The genuine empathy and generosity displayed by our students are a testament to the values we cherish at Blue Hills Adult Education. Their dedication and selflessness serve as an inspiration to us all, reflecting the true spirit of community and kindness.

Let us carry forward the spirit of empathy and generosity that defines our community. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact and brighten the lives of those around us.
