Tomorrow is the day! 👊

We have a handful of spots left in our Business Kickstarter Virtual Workshop. Get. On. It.

In today’s issue:

🤔 Flash poll: I’m curious....

🧬 This kid rocks: Grace is catching tons of attention.

^{FLASH POLL}

Don’t forget— we’re still accepting applications for our summer virtual entrepreneurship programs, Launchpad (9-13) and BETA Camp (high school).

^{THIS KID ROCKS}

Grace is at it again. And again. And again. And… you get the idea. 🤷

It hasn’t even been two months since Prequel AlphaX student, Grace Price, released her groundbreaking documentary: Cancer is a Food-Born Illness.

Which, btw, now has nearly 5 million views. 🤯

In the documentary, 17-year-old Grace asks questions like “what do Twinkies and Clorox have in common?” while exposing the giants of the food industry.

But the most amazing thing she’s accomplished is encouraging her peers to ask these same questions. 👊

In a recent television interview with Emmy Award-winning journalist Fanchon Stinger, Ms. Stinger wasn’t simply impressed with the outcome of Grace’s documentary (and all of the good it’s already doing), she was impressed with Grace’s mindset—

I couldn’t agree more. 👏

You can watch Grace’s entire interview with Fanchon Stinger on Morning on Merit Street.

In the last couple of weeks, Grace has also appeared on some pretty notable podcasts, including:

• The Comments Section with Brett Cooper

• Back to the People Podcast with Nicole Shanahan

• Health Longevity Secrets with Robert Lufkin MD

And she’s just getting started.

Do you think your kid has a little bit of Grace’s gumption in ‘em?

If they’re 9-13, our Launchpad program could be just what you’re looking for.

Next Saturday, we’re opening our “virtual” doors, and giving you a peek:

• ​Explore our unique curriculum and learning environment.

• ​Understand the critical skills and entrepreneurial mindset we instill.

• ​Meet our Program Director.

• ​H​​ear from alumni about their Launchpad experience.

Over 400 Launchpad alumni have built real businesses, solved real-world issues, and generated real revenue.

^{NOTABLE NIBBLES}

I’ve got my finger on the pulse of stories that matter to you 👇️

🧑‍🏫 Teacher layoffs are looming: It has been a “very messy few years financially for school districts.”

📖 Decline by 9: The most dramatic drop-off of kids who “read for fun” happens between the ages of 8 and 9. Screen time is consistent between those ages, so what could be causing it?

🥦 Eat your veggies: I can almost guarantee your kid isn’t getting enough vegetables. Here are the ones that should go on your table tonight.

🧟 Um, what now?: Does your kid’s school have a mummy in the library? C’mon, get with the B.C. times.

🏫 Brown’s promise:  This nonprofit is claiming that on the 70th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, American schools are still pretty darn segregated.

👀 Watch: Five well-reviewed kids movies to stream this weekend.
