As we go into the Superbowl weekend, we imagine a few sports references may be acceptable. Here at Empower, we finished the first half strong seeing a number of our team members succeed in scoring their high school diplomas. We have since added a few new players to the team, and the prospects are looking good to finish the second half of the season just as strong.
With the 3rd Quarter now in full swing, you will see that most of our learners have set their quarterly goals. Many of them are well on track to reach them. We also would like to give a shout-out to Tierra, who wrapped up all her requirements for her diploma. Congratulations Tierra! The weather cooperated, and we were able to have some more sub-zero fun. We freeze-cooked an egg yoke, surprisingly edible with a bit of salt and pepper. We also watched what sub-zero air does to an inflated beach ball. Amazingly, the beachball started to look deflated, but it reinflated when we brought it back inside; science is weird! We hope to get out to the school forest in the next couple of weeks to do some snowshoeing on the new trails, and it looks like the weather may cooperate. Many of our learners had the opportunity to take a virtual tour of the Alnwick Castle in Northeast England, thanks to an invitation from Mrs. Masterson’s class. This castle has been used to film the Harry Potter movies and many more. This castle is over 700 years old and is still fully operational and home to a Duke and Dutchess. We should also clear up some potential confusion. Empower will hold our Parent/Guardian Conferences in March. You may notice the High School has conferences in February. Please refer to our Empower calendar. Of course, we are always happy to talk with any of our Empower supporters about the great things our learners are accomplishing and how we can all support them to be even better. Things are happening here at Empower, feel free to stop by and check them out. Coming Events: Remember all events are updated on our website Feb 16 - MAAP Legislative Day (Virtual/Tentative) Feb 21 - No School-Presidents Day Mar 10&15 Empower Conferences/Family Nights Mar 19 - Supporting Finlayson Lions St Urho’s Day
