Joined forces with My Block My Hood My City (Mx3), a notable Chicago nonprofit, where we hosted two successful sessions for youth this summer. Hosting classes with (Mx3) is expected to continue into the fall.
At St. Sabina Academy and Pulaski International School we finished our spring curriculum.
Unfortunately, June quickly took a turn as Sebastian dealt with a severe illness and was hospitalized for two weeks. Sebastian recovered and got right back to work around the end of June.
Just in time to fulfill The Evolved Network’s summer promise to provide weekly programming to both The Montessori School of Englewood (TMSOE) and two partnered programs through The Stein Learning Gardens (St. Sabina Church) with The Ark and the Chicago Park District.
(TEN) also provided two pop up culinary demonstrations with The Gardeneers through their partnership with After School Matters.
