Week 4 - End of the Summer Success Academy

On Friday, July 20, 2012, the Summer Success Academy officially came to an end.  The culminating event was a celebration which includes the students, Academy staff, the University of Redlands community, and the grant partners (San Bernardino Superintendent of Schools and leaders from the group homes). 

The 2012 Summer Success Academy celebration was an inspiring event where students spoke and showed off their work, where acheivement awards were given, and the community came together to celebrate a truly success summer program.  The image shown on the right is the staff being honored by Dr. Carol Ann Franklin.

Each student in the program made a movie that highlighted their summer experience (which were each shown).

Their energy literacy posters were also on display, along with a table that showed all of the models that we had built as part of this program..

One could only leave this event knowing they had been part of something special.
