Tonight marked a special milestone as we kicked off our first in-person mentoring session with our Sherman Elementary Chapter—and what an incredible way to start!

A huge highlight of the evening was having some of our older mentees step in to help support our younger scholars. Their leadership, encouragement, and willingness to give back made a big impact, and our younger mentees truly enjoyed learning from them. Moments like this remind us how powerful peer mentorship can be. 🙌🏽

We also want to give a huge thank you to S**G Academy LLC for leading such a fun and engaging workout session and showing our students that staying active is important for everyone—whether you’re an athlete or just getting started on your fitness journey.

To wrap up the evening, we spent time together enjoying snacks, chips, water, and juice while our mentees shared their thoughts about the workout and reflected on their experience. It was great hearing their excitement and seeing their confidence grow!

Special thank you to Ms. Lauren for helping coordinate everything and making sure our mentees were prepared so the session could run smoothly. Your support makes a difference!❤️🖤❤️🖤

❤️🖤 POP Launch Night with our Putnam Heights Elementary Chapter ❤️🖤

Tonight was an incredible kickoff for our POP Chapter at Putnam Heights Elementary School, and we are so grateful to all the families who came out to support our mentees at The Children's Museum of Eau Claire!

Our mentees had an amazing time participating in the Black Inventors Scavenger Hunt, exploring hands-on activities, and connecting with some of our older POP mentees who helped guide them through the experience. It was powerful to see leadership already taking shape across age groups.

There was plenty of creativity flowing through the arts & crafts stations, and we captured so many fun memories thanks to the Hmongment Photobooth 📸

A special thank you to the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire for allowing us to use your space and helping make this launch event such a meaningful experience.

❤️🖤 POP Mentoring Session Highlight ❤️🖤

Yesterday, our ECASD District Wide Chapter had an incredible hands-on experience during our Real Estate Behind the Scenes Tour—and it did not disappoint!

Our mentees stepped into the role of realtors as they toured a stunning $500,000 home. They explored every level of the house, identified key features, and worked in teams to develop their very own sales pitch. Each group was paired with a realtor from Property Shoppe Realty LLC, who guided them through the process and helped sharpen their ideas.

To wrap it all up, our mentees presented their pitches to a panel of judges, using creativity, teamwork, and confidence to “sell” the home. Every single mentee played a role, and it was amazing to see them fully embrace the experience!

We also had a special moment as one of our POP alumni, Novi, joined us! It was great to have her back, especially after recently returning from Texas where she earned 2nd place as the NJCAA Women’s D3 National Runner-Up—we’re so proud of her accomplishments and the example she continues to set! 🏆👏

This was more than just a tour—it was real-world exposure, skill-building, and a chance to think like future professionals. 💼🏡

A HUGE thank you to Property Shoppe Realty, LLC for providing such an impactful opportunity, and to C&M Home Builders and Real Estate for allowing us to tour your beautiful model home!

We’re proud of our mentees for stepping up, getting creative, and making the most of this experience. The future is bright! ❤️🖤❤️🖤

❤️🖤 POP Mentoring Session – South Middle School Chapter ❤️🖤

This morning was yet another powerful reminder of why this work matters.

Our mentees took part in a dynamic team-building activity that challenged them to think critically while sharpening their skills in spelling, proper grammar, and word searches. More importantly, it pushed them to communicate, collaborate, and problem-solve together as a team.

They stepped up to the challenge head-on—and had a great time doing it! Watching them engage, uplift one another, and work toward a shared goal is what it’s all about.

These sessions go far beyond academics. They’re building confidence, strengthening social skills, and showing our mentees the true power of teamwork and connection.

The growth is real, and the future is bright with this group! ❤️🖤❤️🖤
