Greetings To Our Empower Learner Supporters,
The question is, "Has Spring sprung or is this just a tease with a little winter yet to come?" I think we have made it out of the worst winter has to offer this year, and even if there is a day or two of snow coming our way, it will not stick around. Besides, it's Spring Break time, so it must be Spring. A big thank you to the number of families that came in last Tuesday for conferences. It was a pleasure to meet with you and share about your learners. The winner of the first $25 Walmart Gift Card for attending meetings on Tuesday night was Vanessa Gibbs. You hear us say it all the time, and it is true; please feel free to stop by anytime to talk about your learner; we are always eager to do that. Michele from CMJTS spent a reasonable amount of time with our learners that signed up for Youth Build. She was able to get application packages finalized for many of the participants. She also lead those learners in reclaiming much of the basement space. Getting the Empower Hour Food Shelf up and running messed up many of the remaining basement spaces. Michele and her team were able to move, sort, and rearrange the items, so we have a functional study area and art room back in operation. The greenhouse project should get underway once we are back from break, weather permitting. For most of the last two weeks, our learners spent time working toward or exceeding their 3rd quarter goals. Like you, we are pleased with our learners' progress in the 3rd quarter, and we look forward to guiding them to a very productive fourth quarter. That is right, the 4th quarter is here, which means eight weeks of school once we get back from Spring Break. So, take some time to relax with your learner this next week and get ready to encourage them to finish the year strong. 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 Mar 28-Apr 1 Spring Break No School Apr 12 UMD Planetarium and Duluth Railroad Museum trip Apr 15 No School
