CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GRADUATES

Dear Charting Careers Friends and Family,

On May 17th, we had the honor of celebrating our Charting Careers community with our annual Scholarship and Awards Night! It was an exhilarating evening celebrating the achievements of elementary, middle, high school, and college students and their parents/caregivers. Academic scholarships were awarded to four high school seniors and five continuing college students, most of whom are the first in their families to go to college. We are so proud of our youth who persevere through challenges, discover their own power, and reach their goals!

The evening included opening remarks by Charting Careers staff, a video message from Anne Arundel County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Bedell, a scholarship presentation by Maryland State Delegate Shaneka Henson, and a representative from the office of Maryland State Delegate Dana Jones.

Thank you for helping us send another group of capable, determined young people to college!

Erin Snell, PhD

THE CLAY STREET COMMUNITY LEARNS MORE ABOUT ANNAPOLIS HISTORY

Through the work of Charting Careers Community Impact Specialist Renetra Anderson and Obery Court-College Creek Residences Council President Veronica Grant and a grant from The City of Annapolis, we recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable journey through time. Members of the Greater Clay Street community toured important historical sites of Annapolis led by historian Janice Hayes-Williams. This immersive experience allowed children and adults to delve into the captivating stories and significant events that have shaped our remarkable city.

JUNETEENTH GALA, PARADE, AND FESTIVAL

We are honored to have been a part of the Annapolis Juneteenth Celebration. Community Impact Specialists Renetra Anderson and Ron-Shaye Clark attended the Gala (pictured above with William Rowel of the Mayor's Office). Mentor Director Laticia Hicks, Education Director Ashley Mackell, and Middle School Coordinator Candis Henson (pictured under the tent above) had fun at our Charting Careers booth in the children’s village.
