October Saturday Recap
We practiced our professional communication skills this month! Students in grades 7-10 learned tips on writing an effective email, analyzed examples of good and bad emails, and then drafted their own. Students could choose to write about an example situation or, if they had a real-life example, they wrote an email to address a concern or make a request to a teacher or school staff (or Breakthrough staff – we also received some constructive feedback!). Students in 11th and 12th grade learned more about financial aid and the college search process in preparation for a trip to Augsburg University next month. After lunch, students had time to socialize in their chosen Yo-Time activity.
BTC parents and guardians can plug into Saturday session by:
- 7th-10th grade – asking your student to whom they wrote their draft email
- 10th-12th grade – asking your student if they’re interested in the court shadowing opportunity with the Ramsey County District Attorney’s office this spring
- 11-12th grade asking your student what they hope to learn about the college process during their trip to Augsburg University November 2nd.
Stay tuned for an upcoming invite to a virtual family night session in November. Have a great week!
