Greetings to our Empower Learners and Supporters, We have had a very busy past two weeks with lots of learning, credits being earned, and many team bonding experiences. We have gotten our routine down and our learners have their goals set for the year. A few highlights from the past few weeks have been a visit from Shortybuff and an overnight field trip to Lake Beauty for the MAAP STARS Fall Leadership Conference. A few learners painted some of our desks before moving them to make room for the new ones that they built. Shortybuff paid us a visit and taught our learners about free-styling and the equipment needed to start recording songs. He even brought in a few things to revamp our studio! Jase, Ameed, Isaac, Niv and Alecia all attended the MAAP STARS Fall Leadership Conference where they did the Leap of Faith, played laser tag, went fat-tire biking, played lights out dodgeball, and participated in some activities to help with their communication skills. They were able to bond with students from other alternative schools and make new friends. Lots of fun, learning and new experiences were had by all. Our MAAP STARS Chapter has elected leaders. Congratulations to Ameed, President; Jase, Vice President; Isaac, Treasurer; Niv, Journalist; Alecia, Parliamentarian! Here is a reminder of our upcoming events:
