Well, we are almost there. We all know that we continue to learn throughout our lives, but this academic year is drawing to a close. This will be the last progress report of the year. We will be sending out an end-of-year wrap-up after June 4th. If you have not done so already, please take a few minutes, provide us with your thoughts, and don't hold back. These surveys are anonymous so tell us what you think. You can find the supporter's survey at: https://forms.gle/ebDxukgk5fZiBkCe9. We will be asking our learners to fill out a separate survey for their perspective.
We are proud of a number of our learners that have picked up the pace over the last couple of weeks. It is nice to see the success being realized in their faces. Please keep encouraging them to finish the school year strong. As stated earlier, learning does not have to end on June 4th. Your learner can work with either Prater or Jensen and set up a summer learning plan. This can be done individually, or you could attend formal summer school July 26-29th, Aug 2nd-5th, and Aug 9th-12. Contact Prater if you are interested in attending. These last two weeks have been highlighted with a number of our learners taking the ASVAB test. We will be going over the results with those learners in the next few days. Coming up, we have the Big Ideas team coming to visit on May 18th from 10:30 - 12:30. We are inviting both advisories on that day, so please let us know if transportation is an issue. The students will be given hands-on experience with welding, heavy equipment, commercial painting, HVAC, and plumbing. All career fields in high demand and paying top dollar. We have also nailed down a date to learn about Land Navigation and experience the fine military field rations known as Meals Ready to Eat. It's back; our annual ELC Family Picnic is at LEGION Park in Hinckley on Friday, May 28th, from 12:00pm-2:00ish. It's food and fun for the whole family. Feel free to bring a dish to share if you would like, but just being there is all we ask. There should be enough to eat for everyone. We will also have some closing activities and the always popular year-in-review video. This is a new location for us behind the American Legion building on 3rd St NE. Important Dates May 18th - Big Ideas Careers in the Trades May 20th and 25th - Land Nav and MRE’s May 28th - End of Year Picnic at the LEGION PARK May 30th - Graduation May 31st - No School Memorial Day June 1-4th - Empower open for any learner.
