1st Breakthrough Learning Lab a Success!
Some of the subjects discussed were based on segregation of schools within the state, and combating the effects of youth & poverty. A number of specific stories were given by Dukakis and Brundin to illustrate the issues being battled within the state. In addition, effective resources & programs were shared among the group, namely The Crossing, Denver Kids & Project Voice, to mention a few. Overall, this was an incredible opportunity to come together as an education-centered community. Stay tuned for details on our next Breakthrough Learning Lab!
Breakthrough Student makes headlines in Denver
Domini'Q's twin brother suffers from a severe form of epilepsy and has many special needs. Despite all of Domini'Q's family challenges, his drive remained steadfast right from the start. Stating that he wanted to go to college and try to provide for his family was just the beginning of his message. We later found his passion for dance during the summer, as Domini'Q won the hearts of his classmates and teachers by using the stage as his platform for expression. Though he was usually the smallest in stature, his moves were huge, and his ability to connect with his audience was astounding!
Now Domini'Q faces a greater challenge as his family searches for the funds to provide his brother with medication. Domini'Q fights for his brother the best way he knows how, by dancing! Check out the full KDVR story below.
Social Justice Saturday School
Our new model is one which focuses on one subject as a community for the entire day. This past Saturday, we explored social justice! We did this by visiting current events, specifically touching on the crisis in the middle east. We also shared thoughts about our hopes for ourselves, Breakthrough & the world around us, so as to understand the individual roles that we play every day. Students and teachers alike were great participants, and despite the first truly cold weekend of the winter, we had a great day overall!
This Saturday, we'll be exploring global awareness! Be sure to contact us if you are interested in visiting.
