Yesterday afternoon, my husband and I attended our daughter's graduation from the KCK Saturday Academy. This is her first year in the program. She has an opportunity to participate in this program every school year through her senior year in high school if she chooses to do so. This wonderful program provides educational opportunities beyond the classroom. The Saturday Academy program was created to "help Wyandotte County students by providing enrichment to support their science and math electives that will help their college and career goals". The program is made possible with the support of KU School of Medicine, DST and Euronet along with the Kansas Health Foundation and the KCKCC Science, Math and Technology department.
My hubby and I were discussing yesterday the fact that our daughter has many opportunities as a result of us living in an urban area. She is excelling in a number of ways and now she is excelling academically through Saturday Academy and soon...Sumner Academy.

That is wonderful. You and your husband must be so proud of your daughter and happy with your choices. Congratulations to all of you!
My oldest daughters school offer a similiar program but we haven't had a chance to talk her into going. I still need to look into it more because I don't want it to be a waste of her time being that the school district we live in has in my opinion fail at these programs before. Congratulation to you daughter and I hope she stays encouraged and continues the program next year.
