Hello November👋 Celebrating student achievements and persevering through another year 🍁

Welcome back BCCP Family and friends! We are excited you are here with us for another year filled with learning, wellness, action and growth. The year has been off to a great start, so hop into this article and read along for all the new developments here at BCCP.

Celebrating "You Alright?" : A film by our students at Robeson High School

Congratulations are in order for students of Robeson High School 👏 🎥 . Last school year our students created a mental health documentary titled "You Alright?" This phenomenal documentary was nominated for an award at the 2024 Teen Indie Awards located at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, NY. During this event, students were recognized for the film they created. Our students were nominated for the Sparks Award. We are so incredibly proud of them. We also want to include a special thank you to the educators who made this possible. Thank you to Ms.Simms, Ms.Jade and Shemar!

Watch 21st Century Learning Center

After school is in full swing! 🎒📌 Last month we celebrated the launch of our 21st Century program with our kick-off event. Join us in giving a warm welcome to Antonia, our WATCH program director. Let's also give a friendly hello to our wonderful teaching Artist Gabriela – we are excited to see what art projects you have in store for us this year.

✨Word of the month 🧠✍️✨

Words are powerful and knowledge is power. Join us as we incorporate words into our monthly vocabulary. PERSEVERANCE noun

per•se•ver•ance : continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” We want to share your story! Send us a message with ways in which you demonstrate perseverance. Email info@welcometobccp.org for a chance to be featured in next month's Newsletter.

✨ We are growing! Welcoming Dock Street School for STEAM studies 🔬

We are excited to announce BCCP afterschool is now at DOCK Street School for STEAM studies. To kick off the school year, students at DOCK are learning about Robotics using the MBot with MakerSpace Education Manager, Erica Robinson. We look forward to what the year has in store for us.

Kicking off at S.T.A.R

BCCP at S.T.A.R has been off to a great start, kicking off the year with high attendance. Our students are finding the areas of after school where they thrive. We have seen a surge in students coming together to enjoy community building. As we continue the year we look forward to continue celebrating student participation, meaningful parent engagement and new activities at our site like music. 🎵

Here are some of our favorite highlights from the past month.
