If you haven't met me yet, I am Jason and I am your Project SUCCESS Facilitator at Anwatin Middle School.   I had a great time last year working with Naheeda getting to know all of you and I am very thankful to work with the super 7th graders and the excellent 8th graders!  I will be joined this year by Peirangelo, who will be working with the 6^th graders and the students of the SPAN program, as well as helping me out with the 7^th and 8^th grade.

We have some great activities planned and we hope is that you will have a chance to explore your dreams and be inspired to take action.  Here's a couple of hints about what to look forward to:

6^th Graders – Magic Cup, Support Dance and Community Building

7^th Graders - Paper Airplanes, Legos, and some Acting

8^th Graders - an Auction, Jeopardy, and Performing

SPAN – Paper Airplanes, Legos and Community Building.

As always we also have some wonderful theatre to invite you to...keep a lookout for invites in the mail.  We'll also talk more about the Spring Musical and the Summer Boundary Waters Canoe Adventure.  Be prepared for a fun year.

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 26 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.
