1. Charters renewed, plus graduation
The State Board of Education voted to renew the charters of both Stamford and Trailblazers Academies for three years. We're excited to be given the opportunity again to help kids reach their potential. Come witness one transition on the way to meeting that goal: Trailblazers Academy's 8th grade graduation: June 23rd at 9:30am at Wright Tech.

2. Sea Glass Gala exceeds expectations
Our fantastic committee, led by formidably organized Gigi Williams, made sure our sold-out crowd of 300+ guests had a great time while raising over $400,000 for our kids and families. We're indebted to the committee, our sponsors, our board, and everyone who made the event a huge success.

3. Literacy gains turning heads
You arrive at Trailblazers Academy in 6th grade reading at a 3rd grade level. Fast forward to today: You're about to graduate and transition to high school, and you now read at an 11th/12th grade level! That's the story of two of our graduates, thanks to their hard work and the work of our team of literacy specialists and other school staff. Imagine if someone had looked at how far behind they were and given up instead of committing to helping them make a successful transition to high school...

4. Golf at Woodway Country Club

Join us September 24, 2009, at Darien's Woodway Country Club with a course rating of 72.8 and slope rating of 139 on Bent grass. Designed by Willie Park, Jr., the course opened in 1916. Drinks on the porch overlooking the Sound, dinner, stogies...email us to save your spot.
