As a valued student of The Motivational Edge, I will adhere to the following:
1. I will respect myself and respect all others because it is essential for success. Therefore; I will treat my peers, adults and superiors with respect, and will use appropriate and courteous language.
2. A strong individual work ethic is necessary in order to strive for excellence and success! Therefore; I will try my very best during class at ME and at home. I am always willing to perform at my highest level. I know that all ME staff and members are here to help me succeed in life.
3. Showing up to school prepared is a vital part of the learning process and attendance is mandatory.
Therefore; I will show up to school prepared and not will miss more than 4 classes in any calendar year, unless it is approved by the administration of my school, parents/guardians or a doctor.
4. Trust is essential for relationships and for each student to excel.
Therefore; I will be loyal to all members of The Motivational Edge, including myself, and I will handle disagreements in an amicable way by getting a staff member to intervene.
5. Fighting and roughhousing are unacceptable. Therefore; I will abstain from inappropriate physical behavior.
6. Graciously accept constructive criticism that will make me a better person. Therefore; I will listen to and acknowledge constructive criticism whether it is given by a peer or staff member. I will not be afraid to ask questions, and if I do not know something I will ask a staff member or peer. |

We will be providing Physical Education classes for His House Academy during the 2011-2012 school year! We have partnered with His House Children's Home and will be providing instrument instruction, vocal classes, DJ/music production classes and physical education for the foster youth of His House Academy and youth of the surrounding community. Visit their website here http://hhch.org/
· His House Children's Home is a private, non-profit, faith-based organization dedicated to restoring the joy in the lives of children from newborn to 18 years of age and children who have transitioned out of the foster care system and families. HHCH provides services ranging from residential care, foster and adoption placement, case-management, an in-house counseling center, the His House Academy, a tutoring program, in addition to weekly enrichment activities such as art, music, athletics and aviation. Since its inception, His House has restored the joy in the lives of over 4,500 children.
We have been providing services for the youth of Educate Tomorrow for quite some time, and we have recently partnered to further strengthen the relationship between our two organizations in order to offer the best possible services to their foster youth. We will be providing music instruction and academic tutoring, primarily in an individual setting focusing on the upper grade levels and standardized testing. Visit their website here. (http://www.educatetomorrow.org/about-us/aboutus/)
· Educate Tomorrow supports 15-23 year olds, who are aging out of the foster care system, by matching them with mentors. These mentors in turn help the young people to enroll in college and training programs, find housing and jobs, as well as apply for educational and social assistance that may be available to them. They also provide educational and life skills camps called "It's Your Life", which is funded by The Children's Trust.
We are excited to announce our new partnership with Casa Valentina! We will be providing academic enrichment through individualized tutoring for the young women of Casa Valentina. Visit their website here(http://www.casavalentina.org/home.html) to learn about the amazing services they provide.
· Casa Valentina is a non-profit organization that addresses the unique, gender-specific needs of young women transitioning from foster care to independent living. The organization was established in 2004 by a group of concerned women who acknowledged the immense challenges faced by young women who leave – or "age out" of – foster care at age 18 without the life experience, financial stability and support they need to survive on their own.
The night was an amazing success!
ME received $2,500 in donations to help support their programs for underprivileged youth in South Florida.
"It was a very successful evening, with more than 50 people in attendance learning about the wonderful programs ME offers children and families in the community. Exotic drinks were provided by TYKU and the delicious food was catered by A La Fusion."
