Great programs and activities, such as Power Hour,<br />
Triple Play, The Arts, and STEM are key to our Club<br />
and organization success. Power Hour, a program that<br />
focuses on homework completion with Staff mentoring,<br />
has had an impact on many members’ grades. We<br />
have received appreciation letters from parents and<br />
teachers that have noticed how their child’s academic<br />
performance has improved because of our program.<br />
“Good morning Brian,<br />
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff<br />
for all the hard work that goes on in your after school program!<br />
Both of my daughters Kaylah and Leia attend Flying<br />
Falcons on a regular base and I’ve notice a huge improvement,<br />
especially with my oldest Kaylah (she’s the one that needed the<br />
help!). She’s still working on missing assignments but they’ve<br />
definitely gone down, and she’s getting better grades because<br />
of it. Both of my daughters enjoy going so that alone tells me<br />
how great this program is. I know they focus on work the first<br />
hour and then they get to do something fun after working<br />
hard. Again thank you for helping our struggling students.”<br />

“I can’t hold back my appreciation and respect anymore; Flying<br />
Falcons Club, you have decreased my classes’ missing work<br />
by over 70% in the last 2 weeks. Students are turning in their<br />
missing work with pride in their eyes and an obvious weight<br />
lifted off of their shoulders.<br />
The work you are doing is<br />
1. So important!<br />
2. Meeting more than just homework needs of students.<br />
3. Giving them structure and safety.<br />
4. Making a difference everyday.<br />
5. Helping students with organization.<br />
6. Holding them to high standards and helping them<br />
succeed at that level.<br />
I see so many teachers supporting this group as they support<br />
us. I love that!<br />
Keep up the great work EVERYONE!”<br />
