This month we are featuring Miguel Mora-Becerra! Miguel is our Learning Community North Parent Time Instructor, and here is what he has to say: Q: What inspired you to work at The Learning Community and how do you continue to stay motivated and passionate in your role? A: I was inspired to work at the Learning Community Center because I wanted to help families in the community create better relationships with their children and learn new skills. Continuing my work becomes easier as I get to know each family and how I can continue supporting their goals. Q: Can you share a particularly memorable experience or success story from your time working at The Learning Community that has had a lasting impact on you? A: A memorable experience that I've had working at the Learning Community was leading parents and their children though STEM activities in our last week of summer camp. Seeing families create and launch their own catapults was both fun and exciting knowing that these are moments parents will always remember with their children.

We sincerely thank the US Army Corps of Engineers for their invaluable support of our Family Summer Camp this year. Their assistance in guiding the children through interactive activities focused on water-related topics like rivers, lakes, and dams made our camp a truly enriching experience. @us-army-corps-of-engineers-omaha-district

Subcouncil Spotlight—Cynthia (Cindy) Johnson Council member representing District 1 Q: Can you share with us your background and what motivated you to become a Subcouncil Member? A: I was encouraged to apply for an open seat in district one. With an extensive background in health care as an audiologist, I have spent my entire professional career advocating for access to education for people of all ages who are deaf or hard of hearing. Education is key to everyone's ability to achieve their goals and build the life they want. The mission of the Learning Community is to close achievement gaps for students which is another way I can continue to be an advocate. Every child deserves an education and removing barriers is incredibly important. My parents were great role models and instilled in me the desire to serve others in the community where I live. Being on the LCCC is giving me a tremendous opportunity to serve my community in areas that I am passionate about: education and children. Q: How do you see your role as a Subcouncil member making a positive impact on the community? A: Being new on the council, going out to the schools and seeing the programs that the Learning Community helps fund has shown me up close that we are making a difference in the lives of families and children. Our children are our future and every penny invested in them will come back to our community in well rounded, educated people which keeps Douglas and Sarpy Counties great places to raise families.

Families at the Learning Community Center of South Omaha have the chance this summer to participate in a week of camp for the entire family. This year they get to 'Make a Splash,' and do all things 'water!' Activities range from making hydroelectric water wheels and water races to wild animal visitors and making their own pickles. Eight community partners are joining the fun this year and bringing their expertise to our families. These partners include: Keep Omaha Beautiful, Omaha Stormwater, US Army Corps of Engineers, Wildlife Encounters, NE Game & Parks, Whispering Roots, Latino Center of the Midlands, and the Omaha Children's Museum. Families wrap up their summer camp week with an excursion to Schramm Park Education Center, where they get to explore the aquarium, ponds, and participate in classroom programs.
