IYT Brotherhood Kick Off

Brothers getting settled and waiting for their pizza during their kick-off event.

Our brothers at IYT at Hanshaw Middle School came together to launch the Brotherhood with an exciting kick-off event. Brothers were treated to a pizza party and a combined study hall/movie session, blending fun with focus. The day energized everyone, strengthened connections, and set a positive tone for the year ahead during our kickoff.

Academic Achievement

Brother Alexander

This month, we are proud to shine the Academic Achievement Spotlight on Alexander from IYT at Hanshaw Middle School! Alexander demonstrates a powerful commitment to his studies by consistently showing up and dedicating himself to his homework. But his focus on success doesn't stop with his own work. He actively supports his friends, offering peer assistance to ensure they succeed alongside him.

Believing so strongly in the program, Alexander even took the initiative to recommend IYT to his peers and helped them sign up. He is a true ambassador and a fantastic example of a leader who lifts as he climbs. Congratulations, Alexander!
