Ward 6 Update

Families, we are quickly approaching the end of the 2010-2011 After School Academy. This has been a very productive year full of positive steps forward for our scholars, memorable moments, and impactful connections.

Our 5th grade scholars are growing into mature young people and continue to progress in their ability to be scholarly. Our 6th graders have all made significant gains academically and really improved to become consistently high Academic performers. Our 7th graders are a strong, tight group; they hold each other and themselves accountable for academics. They are, indeed, scholars and great models of strong, positive young people. Our 8th graders have earned the right to be celebrated. Most of them will be attending their top choice schools in the fall and all of them have worked hard to earn the success they are experiencing.

None of the progress we have made would be possible without the hard work and support of you, the families. You have collaborated regularly with Center Staff to provide support for us and your scholars. When challenges arose, we confronted them head on and worked together in the best interest of the scholars. In great moments, we celebrated the efforts and successes of our scholars. You have supported our community throughout this year, and I thank you for all that you have done. In particular, thanks to all of you who were able to make time to meet with your scholars’ Achievement Coaches. Please continue these efforts as we approach the end of the Academy. Thank you all.
