Director’s Message

Dear Families,

Happy Fall Equinox! The seasons of change are among us.  Empower Generations has been through some changes this year and thank you to those that have persevered through the adversity.  

During workshops, our learners have been working on connecting with charitable organizations to bring awareness to the causes through art.  Check out their unique t-shirt designs!  Learners are also embracing the power of stories whether they are writing their own through video game design or sharing their personal stories.

Please be on the lookout for an email from your child’s Advisor to set up a time for their ILP (Individualized Learning Plan) next week.  This is a time to sit together as a team and create goals for the school year.  

Make it a great week!

Malaka Donovan-Director
