The 2009 fall semester After-School Program blasted-off with a roar this new school year! Last school year, on our first day we had 12-15 students attend our program, as the school year progressed our program grew to a consistent 30-35 students per class. This year on day one we had 40 students and maintaining every class since then!
The school Principal moved us into the school cafeteria due to our tremendous growth.
Maximizing this new space, we are able to bring innovative media and sound to keep the students engaged and interested. The venue also has allowed us to utilize team building games at the beginning of our classes to allow the middle schooler’s to burn off some energy!
The most exciting part of this new school year is the launch of our new curriculum, RESH180. This curriculum is written by my good friend and team Chaplain for the Oakland Raiders. The NFL Oakland Raiders use this program for all their incoming rookies and it’s also been used throughout the country to train youth with necessary life skills.
Through this program our at-risk students, grades 6th thru 8th are taught how to plan their dreams (set goals), know where they are going (direction for their life) understand self (purpose and destiny) renew their thinking (mindset and behavior) and so much more! RESH180 will set the important foundation for our core values curriculum later on in the school year.
