Breakthrough Houston's Inaugural Fall Event

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A BREAKTHROUGH STUDENT?  Find out at Breakthrough Houston’s Inaugural Fall Event on October 17 Event chairs Anna and Brad Eastman, Emily and Joe Morrel, and Michele and Charles Still invite you to test your knowledge in a quiz bowl with questionsaken from Breakthrough’s middle school curriculum. David Gow and Carla Dawson — the hilarious hosts of The Boss and The Gloss Podcast — will serve as quizmasters for the evening. The evening features 3 rounds of trivia, with the top two tables competing against a table of Breakthrough 8th graders for the prize. 200+ guests will enjoy an Oktoberfest menu from the Saint Arnold kitchen, plus plenty of beer and wine.  

Breakthrough Houston is an educational program that prepares students with high academic potential, but limited educational resources, for competitive high schools and college admission. Through its unique “students-teaching-students” model, Breakthrough also trains talented college and high school students for careers in education.  A leader in education reform, the organization offers an intensive 6-week summer session, plus a monthly program during the school year. Last year the program made headlines when one of its scholars was accepted to all 20 of the prestigious colleges to which he applied.
