As a culminating activity, during Weeks 7 and 8, students meet with mentors one-on-one to respond to post-program questions/topics and prepare their presentations for their upcoming graduation. The ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of our youngest heroes will be held in the school auditorium with a reception for families and staff to follow. Invitations to attend the graduation ceremony will be emailed to families and school staff two weeks prior to graduation.
PARENTS play an important role in this special ceremony as well.
"Secret" details will be shared in the email accompanying the invitation.
If this sounds like a program that would benefit your child, and you can commit to your child attending twice weekly for the duration of the program (following the schedule of dates provided; please note Op Hero does not meet on staff days, early dismissal, or holidays), please complete the application below. 100% attendance at all sessions is expected, so student participants should not have other extracurricular activities scheduled on the dates when Operation Hero meets.
