Wilkie-Farr & Gallagher Law Firm Day: Each year Higher Achievement takes 5-6 scholars from each Center to the Wilkie -Farr & Gallagher Law Firm for a day long experience as a lawyer. Scholars receive an information packet to study, are assigned roles, and ultimately participate in a mock trial. This is a great opportunity for all scholars, particularly those with an expressed interest in law. Please let me know if your scholar would be interested in this opportunity. Scholars who have not attended this trip in the past are give preference to allow for greater participation. This opportunity is available to all scholars on a first come basis.
Zip-Zap Circus: On Friday, October 22 at 8:00 pm please join me, along with other friends and supporters of Zip Zap Circus, at a special performance of OVO, Cirque du Soleil’s new touring show, under the Grand Chapiteau at The Plateau at National Harbor. Thanks to the generosity of Cirque du Soleil, all proceeds of tickets purchased through Zip Zap will support Zip Zap youth social circus programs in South Africa and here in Washington, DC. 300 Premium tickets are available to us for this benefit and the cost is $125 per ticket.

Message from Ms. Megan
I discovered circus at a point in my life when I seemed to have everything from the outside (my own massage studio, a wonderful community, etc) ...but something was still missing. Circus inspired me to really grow into my shoes in a new way. Flying trapeze gave me the opportunity to become more fearless, reach new heights, and face some of my deepest fears. It has impacted every part of my life. I see Zip Zap as a way of giving that gift back and because I have seen where I came from and where I ended up, I really believe that circus can be for anyone. Through circus we learn to trust other people in new ways and foster our own creativity. Zip Zap is about learning through discovery in an environment that is both physically and emotionally safe. I am so honored to be a part of it and I hope that together we can find a way to support our kids through these ticket sales!
