Welcome to the 2009 Summer Academy at Higher Achievement! We have been hard at work preparing for an educational and fun summer for your Scholar. June 29th – the first day of program – is right around the corner! This summer marks the beginning of a transition for our Center. After three amazing years, Mr. Matt is moving on, and has entrusted me with leading our community in continuing to develop our culture and nurturing the SPARC in all of us. We will continue to be a community that believes in, and supports our scholars; a community that demonstrates SPARC and provides continued inspiration for one another. Scholars and faculty new and old will bring a renewed spirit and energy to Ward 6. We will all be vigilant and remain committed to the success not only of our individual scholars, but to the success of our Center as a whole. Our Center is indeed a tree of interconnected roots given strength by the combined efforts of everyone.
This summer I look forward to welcoming our summer teachers into the family and giving them the tools to be successful as they facilitate the continued success of our scholars’. I look forward to the very 1st day of Summer Academy and seeing all of our families again; and to all the wonderful activities and lessons our teachers will engage the scholars with. The scholars will be challenged and pushed academically as they participate in their various projects such as the Science fair, Mock Trial, and Model UN. They will be challenged socially as they get to know each other, participate in Community Meeting, and engage in exciting new electives. I can’t wait to see the scholars attend the weekly field trips and experience new things. We will facilitate memorable and meaningful opportunities for our families, teachers and staff. What I look forward to most is seeing everyone grow. This summer will be an amazing one for all of us and I look forward to working with and seeing all of you.
