Hello Anwatin families, students and staff! This is Jason saying hi to all of you and hoping you had a great summer! I am thrilled to come back to your school for my 10th year with Project SUCCESS! Last year we had fun while learning about each other’s dreams and goals for the future. I cannot wait to get back into your classrooms for another great year of workshops.
I have some great activities planned and I hope that you will have a chance to explore your dreams and be inspired to take action. Here are a couple of hints about what to look forward to:
6th Graders - Magic Cup, Support Dance and Community Building
7th Graders - Paper Airplanes, Legos, and some Acting
8th Graders - an Auction, Jeopardy, and Performing
SPAN - Paper Airplanes, Legos and Community Building.
As always I also have some wonderful theatre to invite you to...keep a lookout for invites in the mail. I'll also talk more about the Spring Musical and the Summer Boundary Waters Canoe Adventure. Be prepared for a fun year.
If you have any question, or you just want to say hi, feel free to contact me at jasonb@projectsuccess.org.
Project SUCCESS is proud to be serving Anwatin Middle School since 1998. Project SUCCESS began working at Anwatin Middle School at the invitation of Minneapolis Public School Deputy Superintendent Cheryl Creecy, who at the time was principal of Anwatin Middle School. Teachers and students immediately embraced the program and welcomed our staff into their classrooms.
At Anwatin Middle School, Project SUCCESS offers the following programming:
· Opportunities for each student and their family to attend between six and twelve free theater performances at 27 area theaters;
· In-class, goal-setting workshops;
· A professionally produced musical each spring;
· BWCA summer adventures for over 50 students.
Anwatin Middle School has an enrollment of approximately 480 students in grades 6-8. Their program is based on the middle school philosophy, in which their core teams and advisories work to create smaller, caring, learning environments.
