Reminder: Saturday Academy October 17, 2026
JR LINKers, mark your calendars and get ready to dig into your leadership journey! Our next Saturday Academy is Saturday, October 17th, from 9 AM – 3:30 PM. Scholars and Families please make sure you’re looking at your emails for location details.
This is the first of four Saturday Academy workshops this year where you’ll begin to strengthen your leadership skills and learn more about yourself and your end-of-year capstone project that you will create and present at the end of the year.
7th Graders: Discover Your Genius!
What’s your genius? Maybe you’re a problem-solver, a great listener, creative, good at bringing people together, or have a talent you haven’t even recognized yet. You’ll start uncovering what makes you you and begin thinking about how your talents, interests, and goals connect to your future. You’ll also be introduced to your My Genius, My Path Capstone and take the first steps toward creating it.
8th Graders: Get Ready for High School!
High school is right around the corner… new classes, new people, more choices, and more responsibility. You’ll start thinking about what you want your high school experience to look like, what might challenge you, and what you’ll need to be successful. You’ll also be introduced to your end-of-year capstone project, the High School Success Plan, and begin laying the foundation for what you’ll develop throughout the year.
Attendance is MANDATORY and an important part of the Scholar experience, so families should plan ahead to ensure Scholars participate.
Scholars who are unable to attend must notify the LINK team to request an excusal and follow the absence and make-up assignment requirements (which will be posted in Google Classroom a few days after Saturday Academy has taken place).
We look forward to welcoming everyone back for another day of learning, leadership, and community!
