RESOLUTION
Supporting ``Lights On Afterschool!'', a national celebration of after
school programs.
Whereas high quality after school programs provide safe, challenging, engaging,
and fun learning experiences to help children and youth develop their
social, emotional, physical, cultural, and academic skills;
Whereas high quality after school programs support working families by ensuring
that the children in such families are safe and productive after the
regular school day ends;
Whereas high quality after school programs build stronger communities by
involving the Nation's students, parents, business leaders, and adult
volunteers in the lives of the Nation's youth, thereby promoting
positive relationships among children, youth, families, and adults;
Whereas high quality after school programs engage families, schools, and diverse
community partners in advancing the well-being of the Nation's children;
Whereas ``Lights On Afterschool!'', a national celebration of after school
programs held on October 20, 2005, promotes the critical importance of
high quality after school programs in the lives of children, their
families, and their communities;
Whereas more than 28,000,000 children in the United States have parents who work
outside the home and 14,300,000 children in the United States have no
place to go after school; and
Whereas many after school programs across the United States are struggling to
keep their doors open and their lights on: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate supports the goals and ideals of ``Lights
On Afterschool!'' a national celebration of after school programs.
