Walmart Foundation aids summer schools

Sacramento-area schools have received $11.5 million from the Walmart Foundation for a three-year summer learning program that started June 6.

The foundation provided the funds to the National Summer Learning Association, which then distributed them to local learning programs in 10 cities nationwide.

The association selected Santa Ana-based THINK Together to implement the Smarter Summers program in Elk Grove Unified School District.

Schools receiving the funds include Edward Harris Jr. Middle School, Harriet G. Eddy Middle School, James Rutter Middle School, Samuel Jackman Middle School and T.R. Smedberg Middle School.
