Time is speeding up

Is time speeding up? It seems to me that just yesterday we were celebrating Christmas and New Year’s. Now, 2008 is almost half over, school is out for the summer and our Summer Media Camps are already underway.

A summer class from El   Centro will be with us for three weeks learning everything they need to know to produce a television show. Six Exxon Green Team interns will be working with us this summer to produce public service announcements about being good stewards of our environment and we are partnering with the Dallas Park & Recreation department, Dallas Children’s Theatre and other non-profits to make this summer one to remember for young people lucky enough to be enrolled in one of our Summer Media Camps.

On September 13^th, we are sponsoring the first annual S³ = Student Success Summit to provide the motivation, nurturing and process that 8^th and 9^th grade students need to kick off a successful school year. Best-selling author Stedman Graham will bring his “Nine Step Plan for Success” to Dallas. Teens and their parents or caregivers will learn about goal-setting and goal attainment, individual accountability and personal development. Time is of the essence. We can’t let our teens and their families down. Let us know if we can count on your involvement!
