Mexicantown is a neighborhood in Detroit with a rich history and with many great things happening in the present as well. The EPIC program is one of the great programs that helps the youth in the community prepare for the next step. Without programs like this, the burden of being a first generation student in college is greater and students may feel like they dont have the academic, emotional, and social support that they need during high school and the transition to college. It is a part of a greater organization that helps the community in many ways, is in a neighborhood that is incredible diversity with many things to do, but it also has a few issues within the program’s structure and internal issues amongst the students as well.

Co-ordination and motor skills also advance during the learning of playing an instrument, whether its drums, flute, or violin. Your right and left hands, and even sometimes feet, have to work simultaneously. Adding these movements along with reading music, processing it, and listening to stay with other musicians in your group is an achievement in itself. You are definitely using every sense you have to accomplish this feat! Enhancing coordination and perfecting timing can prepare children for other hobbies, like dance and sports.

The Boys & Girls Club of Kern County is a non-profit, established in 1996, dedicated to help young individuals in preparing for their futures. The chapter focuses on helping these individuals with character building, doing well in school, and becoming a responsible citizen within the community. This chapter provides services for “over 5,000 children daily at our 3 clubhouses and 49 campus based programs” (Kern County Boys & Girls Club, 2015). The goal of the organization is to make a positive influence on these children lives and their future. The Boys & Girls Club makes it easier for parents to focus on work by taking the responsibility for creating a safe and fun learning environment for these children. By doing so, children in unstable households receive a greater chance at a successful future. In 2013, the club served 2046 children at the Niles Clubhouse, where 87% of the members were on free or reduced lunch programs (Kern County Boys & Girls Club, 2015). This supports the foundation statement of the organization that the community needs to be involved in making programs that will result in a better future for all children. The organization’s partnership with PG&E to provide scholarships and summer internships is one of the most prevalent portrayals of the community working together to create better futures for the children of Kern County. The after school program is the most popular program the organization offers because

In September of 2013, the new East Bridgewater Junior Senior High School opened it’s doors for the very first time welcoming students from grades 7 - 12. After reorganization of the three schools in the district, it was decided that the seventh and eighth grade would move from the middle school into the new building. Although the building was beautiful and filled with the latest technology, a wave of negative thoughts and expectations about how the school and the school district functions engulfed the staff. A divide slowly but surely formed between the middle school teachers and the the high school teachers, new policies, programs, and technical changes were implemented with few explanations or input, and administration became as distant

According to the Missions of California book, The spanish missions in California comprise a series of religious outposts established by Spanish Franciscans between 1769 and 1823. The Missions represent colonization of the Europeans in the Pacific Coast region. After Columbus’ landing in the west indies, the king of Spain wanted to set empire in the new land. They wanted to control politically and religiously.

Built in 2012, Los Lobos de Loyola embodied the Loyola crest, the university’s values, and provided another visual symbol of its historical foundation. Created by Architect Pancho Cardenas, the representation of wolves and kettles contains symbolism and many representations for the mission of the Jesuit and Loyola community.

Currently, I am student teaching at Alfred E. Zampella PS #27 School in the district of Jersey City. The school is located in a busy city, next to John F. Kennedy St. which is especially busy in the morning and during rush hour. This results in several late students on a day to day basis. On the other hand, this school is also highly accessible and as a little over a thousand students. The school has grade levels from kindergarten to 8th grade, and has a mix of general, special, and inclusion education classrooms. Typically, families that enroll their students into this school are of lower-middle socio-economic class, and tend to be majority Hispanic, Indian, and African American, with few Caucasians and Asians. This school provides a variety of special programs for their ESL students and special need students. Students may be offered speech language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, ESL programs, reading recovery, and counseling.

With the completion of Wilburton Elementary School, enrollment numbers will significantly decrease at the elementary schools in the northwest corridor of Bellevue. Although Wilburton will provide relief for certain schools in Bellevue, it isn’t a viable long-term solution for another highly populated region, Somerset. The regions surrounding Somerset has one of the largest populations under 18 at 24.27%, and a potential to rise even higher, hence the high enrollment numbers in the south corridor of Bellevue. The proposed elementary school* would be able to reduce enrollment numbers in Newport Heights, Woodridge, Somerset, Eastgate, Lake Hills and Spiritridge. The proposed plan would mean a significant reduction in attendance area at the schools listed above, as a result boundary lines will have to be redistricted to incorporate the proposed plan. The proposed boundary shifts also integrates regions with very different ethnic backgrounds, each original region will be well represented in the new school with dominant races such as Hispanic, White and Asian mixed together. The proposed school would also incorporate students of varying academic proficiency, with three original elementary schools ranking in the top 5 of Bellevue, while one representing the lower half of the spectrum based on SBAC test scores. The mix of student proficiencies and cultures would be highly rewarding for students as they converge together with different cultures and study backgrounds, which is

As my school’s class president, there have been various times where my school was impacted through Jostens. Through the Jostens Renaissance Education program, there have been numerous positive outcomes. There has been an increase in our school spirit along with the engagement of the students in school activities and events. Students are developing their own unique character which they spread through the halls of our school. More students than before are engaging in school activities along with supporting our sports teams. Students are creating a positive climate along with spreading culture. Much of this credit goes to the Jostens program as their resources enabled the students to engage and connect with others in a simpler way.

The conflict brewing within the Sequoia School is multi-faceted. There appears to be varying degrees of struggle between the offices of the head of school and the development office; the administrators and the assistants; and between the assistants themselves. These conflicts should not be looked upon as isolated events, but rather as chain reactions wherein one event affects or creates another.

Being in a diverse and academically challenging atmosphere, St. Ursula Academy will help me to grow in my faith, integrity, and courage. To grow in faith, there are not only masses and classes during school, but I know firsthand that each person a part of St. Ursula is filled with the spirit of God. My sister is a student at St. Ursula and the stories as well as the people I have met are all friendly faces. In such a welcoming atmosphere, God’s love can be found throughout the community, in the students, teachers, and faculty. In such a troubling world, this love strengthens my faith in others and in our society. Love can be found in the supportive academic environment where the students are challenged but know they will be supported by their

Similarly elementary students enrolled in San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated School District are also feeling the “crowded train car effect” as classrooms are filled to capacity to instances where not enough seating is available for each student. Del Rio School district should build another elementary school because it would give teachers the ability to provide mentoring and improve students academic performance.
