A Saturday at BMWA
Each Saturday begins with a “power story” presented by an African American male who shares his journey to success. These men inspire and motivate the student work hard, persevere, and learn leadership skills. We also emphasize math and literacy each week and Robotics and STEM education are frequent exposure opportunities.
