Greetings To Our Empower Learner Supporters, As the weather is changing, we realize we are moving through this learning year. As of today, we are at the end of the first Goal Block. We have had some students that have met their goals for this Block and are setting new goals for Block #2, which ends on 12 December. For those learners that were not able to reach their goals, we will be setting up meetings to evaluate new goals for Block #2. We will be contacting you, their supporters, to find times that work to talk about goals. In the last two weeks, we have had two Empower learners complete all their requirements for their High School Diploma. Congratulations Ezekiel Hall and Alawnna Roberston. It has been a pleasure assisting you on this journey. We wish you the best in all your future endeavors. Empower is also happy to introduce a new part-time staff member, Sadie. Sadie is a 15month old Yellow Labrador, who has gone through extensive therapy dog training. She will be working with our learners and staff on social and personal wellness skills. With MEA break in the middle, our focus these last two weeks has been on encouraging learners to work toward their academic goals for this Block. We did have time to continue our support of the Backpack program. A few learners assisted in picking up and delivering the bulk food from Sandstone to our Transition team. We also had guest speakers from the FCI in Sandstone that talked about bad choices in life and taking advantage of opportunities to move on positively from those choices. Josh Cleveland also stopped by to talk about the new opportunities offered at Fond Du Lac Tribal Community College. The next two weeks will be busy with Block Goal meetings, visits to the 49er’s, FDLTCC, and the Audubon Center, supporting the F-G LIONS Hunters Dinner. These will offer the learners that participate great learning opportunities and a little fun. Coming Events: Remember all events are updated on our website.
