We are now firmly in the second quarter of the year, and many Empower learners have started the quarter working hard to achieve their learning goals. Unfortunately, with the concentration on academics these last two weeks, there is not much to update in this newsletter.
Our learners have completed the prepping of the new laundry room, and now we are just waiting to get the plumber and electrician scheduled for the installation. The learners have also been busy prepping our Empower Food Shelf by arranging shelving and stocking them with food donated by Family Pathways. The Empower Staff is scheduled to train on the management and paperwork involved with running a food shelf in the next couple of weeks. We hope to be operational in the first week of December. More news on both of these projects will be coming out shortly. In addition, Empower learners continue to be a crucial part of the district food backpack program transporting food items from Sandstone to the Transition program at the high school. Empower staff and several learners were able to help a 9th-grade HFHS student gather data for his science fair project. We were each timed in a sprint of the length of the gym, then ended the activity with some friendly races between students, ELC Staff, and HFHS staff. Next week, we have a short week with the Thanksgiving/Miigwech break coming up, but the learners are excited about the annual Empower Feast on the 23rd. The menu has been set, and we will be cooking up another wonderful meal and thoughts of things to be thankful for over the last year. Coming Events: Remember all events are updated on our website Nov 23 - Empower Miigwech Feast Nov 24-26 - No School Thanksgiving/Miigwech Break Dec 8 - ASVAB Review Dec 23 - Empower Christmas Tea Dec 24-Jan 2 - Winter Break
