April 25th - 29th

This week, YESS students continued working academics in our "Tuesday Tutoring" day. Mentors are doing an excellent job of assisting their mentees with everything from literacy to math to science. The focus on academic achievement is going a long way to ensure students' success. Discrimination was the topic of discussion the rest of the week and scholars participated in a lesson on microaggression, as well as an activity that reinforced the idea that stereotypes are labels that are unfair and not entirely true. They did a great job and the conversations we had were extremely insightful!
