Success Stories


When the school year started, Maria was the kind of club member who seldom chose to engage in club activities. She preferred hanging out in the bathroom or hallway, catching up on the latest gossip. The academic staff became concerned that Maria’s behaviors were limiting her development. Lucia met with her mother and together they created a work plan for Maria that called for her to join several academic and club activities. Maria was responsive to the plan and she began attending Power Hour regularly as well as a host of enrichment activities. She now completes her homework daily at the club and had near perfect attendance in her enrichment classes last quarter. Maria is an excellent example of a child who needed a little encouragement to expand her horizons and reach her full potential.

Talia, age 10, (on right) made a bluebird costume for our recent "In Your Own Words" talent and art show at the Eastside Prepatory School auditorium. "We got to show off our outfits." Talia said "It feels good because people encourage me and complement me after. We were supposed to take them off after, but we wore them anyway and walked around the audience cause we looked too good to take them off yet.”
