Greetings To Our Empower Learner Supporters,
This is it, Empower family. As you read this newsletter, we are eight months down and one month to go in the 2021-2022 school year. With May left, we still have a lot of learning that can be done, and the staff here at Empower are energized to assist our learners to the finish line. But, then again, learning is never really finished, is it? We continue to celebrate learners who have met their high school requirements and are ready to move on to the next stage of their lives. Over the last two weeks, Cai Cai and Arri completed all credits and other requirements to earn their high school diplomas. Congratulations to both of you for a job well done. We also would like to give a huge Empower Shout Out to the Finlayson-Giese Lions Club for donating $3000 to the Empower program. Thanks to the continued generosity of the Finlayson-Giese Lions, we can have learners participate in growth activities like the student leadership program MAAP STARS, field trips, and other services we can offer our learners. Although the weather in April has not been ideal, we have been able to get a few days to start the greenhouse project in Bruno; yes, we can talk about Bruno. The foundation has been set, and in the next few weeks, we will start framing the walls, roof, and siding. We started with a small crew, and hopefully, as the weather warms up, we will increase our labor force on the project. The elderly couple we are doing this for is delighted with the work. As we enter May, it is time to reflect on the Empower and how we are doing as a learning community to meet our member’s needs. We will be sending out a survey allowing you to provide feedback on the program. We take your feedback very seriously, and it is your input and reflections that generated positive changes to our program. Your response is vital to us so take a few minutes to provide it. Things are happening here at Empower, feel free to stop by and check out what is happening here. Coming Events: Remember all events are updated on our website May 26 Empower End of Year Celebration and Picnic May 27 Graduation Rehearsal (*required for seniors participating in the 5/29 ceremony).
