Greetings To Our Empower Learner Supporters, 3 January 2020
Welcome to 2020!! May this newsletter find you at peace, and may the upcoming year challenge you enough to make you feel alive, yet not push you beyond your abilities. I know some of you are saying, “Hey wait didn’t we just read a newsletter from Empower” and others are saying, “it seems like forever since the last newsletter, while we are sure a third group is out there saying, “You mean there have been other newsletters.” First, we would like to thank all of the families that attended the annual Empower Christmas Tea. This year did not disappoint. There were plenty of laughs, good conversation, excellent food, and fun games. We always look forward to this chance to meet and have a good time with the extended Empower family. Congratulations to Team Cedar for winning the Reindeer Games. Many of the learners took part in preparing the food and decorations. The whole week before, Empower was filled with the smells of Christmas baking. We proudly give a big shout out to our Empower learners taking college courses. Tatiana and Tyler each passed three courses Fall semester. It takes a lot of work and focus to accomplish this, and these two did what it took to succeed. We look forward to their equal success in the Spring semester. It will not be easy, but they have proven they are up to the challenge. Empower MAAP STARS received funding for a community service project to provide snow shoveling service to the elderly in the local area. The funds allowed us to purchase shovels, ice scrapers, gloves, jackets, and overshoes for the learners. The learners will coordinate with the senior dining center to get the word out. If you know of someone elderly and in need of help clearing snow, don’t hesitate to let us know. We are into Block 3 of the Empower academic year. Many of our learners have set ambitious goals for this block. We could also use the help of some of our Empower families here. If you received a request to meet with Alyssa or Brad to discuss your learner’s Block 3 goals, please contact them and schedule a time. Coming Events: Remember all events are updated on our website.
