A letter from our

Executive Director

Dear Achieve,,

As the leaves change colors and the crisp autumn breeze sweeps through our community, we at Achieve Brown County are excited to welcome you to our Fall Newsletter. It's a season of transformation, reflection, and growth, and we have some exciting updates and stories to share with you.

This past year has been nothing short of remarkable as we continue to work together toward our shared vision: a thriving, equitable, and inclusive community where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Achieving this vision wouldn't be possible without your support, dedication, and collaboration.

In this newsletter, you'll meet our team, find updates on the initiatives we've been working on, and learn about ways in which you can get involved in our ongoing efforts. We believe that by working together, we can create lasting change and build a brighter future for all young people in Brown County.

Thank you for being a vital part of Achieve Brown County's mission. We hope you enjoy reading our newsletter and that it leaves you feeling inspired and motivated to continue making a positive impact in our community. Wishing you a wonderful fall season filled with warmth and joy.

With gratitude,

Sarah Beckman
