BrainStorm Educational Services is a non-profit organization established in 2003 by local educator Tonia L. Muse-Baker and her husband, the late Andrew Wilson Baker, III. The mission of BrainStorm Educational Services is to collaborative work with individuals in improving their literacy, self-confidence, and self-esteem as they become productive and self-sufficient citizens. BrainStorm has sponsored various events such as Breakfast with Santa, book giveaways and Prime Time Family Reading sessions.
Teen Brain Spark is the result of hearing a news story that many youths will experience “re-entry anxiety” due to the experiences and losses throughout the Pandemic. Mental Health Experts will be on hand to provide resources as well. It will be like a one stop shop, fill up your “backpack” for a successful year.
The event is free; however, we are asking all who wish to participate to register at www.eventbrite.com If you type “brain” in the search box, you should be able to find the event to get an e-ticket.
