A couple weeks ago, Minnesota Bound, a local television series, and Rapala, a manufacturer of fishing gear, took two of our ACES students out on a fishing expedition. Jahari and Jaylen had never been fishing before, so they were ecstatic about the opportunity to go out in a fishing boat and hopefully get their first catch!

Our Academic Coaches are on the front line of so much that we do here at ACES: chaperoning field trips, building relationships with our youth, lesson planning, and making math and social-emotional connections while delivering our curriculum. Their hard work and dedication are instrumental in our success, so we want to ensure their commitment is recognized and shared through spotlights like these!

Athletes Committed to Educating Students (ACES), a local non-profit offering after-school learning programs, will host its 24th Annual All-Star Evening Thursday, May 9 at the Hyundai Club in US Bank Stadium with Minnesota Viking Chief Operating Officer Kevin Warren as the keynote speaker.
