Background:
|
Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community.
This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to present the Excellence in Education Award to:
BMO Harris Bradley Center
The staff of the BMO Harris Bradley Center (BMOHBC) have worked with Milwaukee Public Schools in many ways, and the BMO Harris Bradley Center is a valued and appreciated partner. Through all district interactions with this organization, MPS staff have been met with the utmost professionalism and genuine support in a common goal to improve the lives of children in Milwaukee. The breadth and depth of the work that the BMOHBC’s staff have been willing to tackle are particularly impressive.
BMOHBC has been a wonderful and generous host for the first-ever All-MPS Alumni Reunion (February 2016), the 2016 MPS Kick-Off (August 2016), and the City Review, which is coming up on January 27, 2017. The BMOHBC has also supported the Mad Hot Ballroom program and competition since its inception, reaching thousands of MPS students across the city.
In addition to these events at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, the Elm and Roosevelt Adopt-A-School Partnership with the BMOHBC has been in effect since January 1, 2016. The goals of the partnership include providing students with new experiences and mentoring support. The BMOHBC staff works closely with the principals to help meet the needs of students, staff, and families to improve outcomes at the schools and has sponsored meals at conferences to increase parental engagement, as well as Bradley Center suite tickets for staff support.
Other things the BMOHBC’s staff have done to encourage family bonding time include ticket support for the Harlem Globetrotters, Disney on Ice, Monster Jam, and the Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions.
Students took a trip to the Bradley Center to learn about careers, and there are monthly career-exploration sessions with Elm students, as well as weekly visits to the school by BMOHBC staff to read with small groups of students in the library.
BMOHBC’s staff have also supported Data Chats at Roosevelt, a beautification day at Elm, and Day One and Read Across America events at both sites.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes and honors the BMO Harris Bradley Center‘s staff for their dedication, outstanding leadership, and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
