Detailed Description

For students, we offer four one-day retreats and a leadership conference – each focused on a core character value that is a proven catalyst for making schools a better place.

 

For educators, we offer all-staff and cohort programming designed to transform your school by building relational trust and motivating teachers.

 

Each year Kellogg sends the 7th grade class to a Courage Retreat for deepening interpersonal skills and relationships, making good decisions, and empowerment to stand up against the crowd.  

Volunteers are desperately needed to help run this exciting and fun-filled day scheduled for Wednesday, May 1st from roughly 8am-2pm.  Unfortunately, there has been significant difficulty finding enough help this year due to all the snow days affecting school and test schedules of high schoolers that typically assist.  Sadly, the event will have to be cancelled if dozens more volunteers cannot be found soon. Please consider helping!

More information here: https://www.youthfrontiers.org/courage-retreat/

Please contact Angi McAndrews (anmcandrews@rochester.k12.mn.us), the Kellogg principal, if you are interested in learning more or available to help.

We would greatly appreciate any help or sharing with any other groups or individuals.

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
