Got a kid interested in theater? Make sure they know about this new free program<br />

David Lyman | Jul 25, 2019<br />
For Caitlin Walsh, it was an offer too good to pass up; a 12-week, hands-on theater workshop. And it was free! Best<br />
of all, it promised to give her a chance to create her own play from scratch. “All In Your Head,” the show that Walsh<br />
and her fellow students came up with, premieres Friday.<br />
Oh, by the way, she’s only 17 years old. Walsh, who is entering her senior year at Anderson High School, had been<br />
shopping around for summer programs that offered practical experience in all facets of theater... Then, she came<br />
across American Legacy Theatre, a year-old theater company founded by Matthew David Gellin. She had heard<br />
about ALT’s Junior Board program from a friend who was part of last summer’s session. And though it was brand<br />
new, she found it was even more extensive than she imagined.<br />

Bonds built via tech-supported mentoring help carry at-risk students to graduation,<br />
college<br />
Education Dive<br />
Linda Jacobson | July 25, 2019<br />
Entering high school can be a challenging experience for many students, but Manny A., a rising junior at Edward M.<br />
Kennedy Academy (EMK) for<br />
Health Careers in Boston, has never had to navigate the transition alone. Since he entered the school two years<br />
ago, he’s been a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay’s (BBBSMB) Mentor 2.0 class, which focuses<br />
on college and career readiness. And not long after starting 9th grade, he was matched with mentor Bhanu Jain,<br />
who provides support — both virtually and in person. Using the online iMentor model, Jain provides feedback<br />
through the Canvas platform when Manny completes classroom lessons, chats with him using a conversation app<br />
and meets with him once a month at school where they often play games and discuss Manny’s goals.<br />

Proposed SNAP changes could affect school meals<br />

ensure that only those who need food assistance receive it.<br />
