Celebrating the End of Summer

August 2, 2010

Breakthrough students, family members, and friends came together last Thursday to celebrate the hard work done by students and teachers over the course of our six-week summer program. The evening included a potluck dinner, exhibitions of student work, and performances including debate, poetry, and capoeira. The night ended, in typical Breakthrough fashion, with songs by our students and teachers. After a few days of wrap-up work by teachers and staff, Breakthrough's programming will take a hiatus until September.

Breakthrough has taught me to manage time, be a leader, be confident, believe in all students, and to really cherish education as a tool to inspire.

It’s a program that helps you with everything. Instead of just being home, I’m really getting ahead academically. The teachers are really nice and they make hard stuff seem really fun.
