The College Path 

March 2018

SoCal for Spring Break

Over spring break, 41 youth and 6 staff, visited 6 schools in 4 days! The SoCal College Tour joined forces between our John O'Connell College and Career Program students with Cohort 11 of College Connect for a whirlwind of first-gen college planning.

Check out all of the photos of our future leaders!

Getting Brainy at Bryant

After weeks of lungs, bones, brains and veins, Bryant Elementary students and their families dove a bit deeper into this new healthy unit. Rethink Your Drink, Relaxation Station, Name that Veggie, and Brain Games made for a fun family night!

Acceptance Letter Season

We were so excited to hear that John O'Connell High School Senior Nour Aissaoui was accepted to her top-choice school, Stanford University.

Congratulations, Nour!

6 + 4 = A Roll of the Dice

While Marshall Elementary teachers spoke to parents about online games and grade-level math skills, students in the Extended Day Program practiced addition with dice, played matching fractions games, and multiplication bingo. Laughter, competition, and funny games ensued!

Everett Students Walk Out

On March 14th, Everett students joined young people around the city, and country, in action against gun violence. Supporting these future leaders as they develop their own version of activism is so important. And they made the press! Check out the New York Times coverage of these student-led walkouts.
