Alumni Make an Impact in FWCD Summer Programs

You might think campus quiets down once the school year ends and students leave in May, but each summer, 4200 Country Day Lane comes to life again thanks to Breakthrough Fort Worth, led by Executive Director Joe Breedlove ’78, and Fort Wonder Summer Camps, guided by Director of Auxiliary Enrichment Programs Kelly Lanier Tierce ’93.

Breakthrough Fort Worth

Breakthrough’s summer program brings hundreds of local students to campus as they pursue their goal of becoming first-generation college students. This year, eight FWCD alumni worked with students in the program as Teaching Fellows: Vianey Frías Pérez ’25 (Seventh Grade PreAlgebra), Patrick Drez ’24 (Eighth Grade Chemistry), Christopher Hoppe ’21 (Ninth Grade Geometry), Jason Pham ’25 (Ninth Grade Algebra 1), Benjamin Hoppe ’24 (10th Grade Dean), Charlotte Comeaux ’24 (Seventh Grade Pre-Algebra), and Murphy Hoefer ’25 (Eighth Grade Chemistry). Evi Scaling Brown ’24 (Seventh Grade Engineering) is not pictured.

Fort Wonder Summer Camps

Fort Wonder sparks curiosity, and campers create lifelong memories through a wide range of academic, fine arts, and athletic activities. This year, six FWCD alumni served as Fort Wonder Counselors: Ava Scott ’23, Leela Vallurupalli ’22, Isa Rios ’23, and Strother Norman ’25, Claire Barker ’20 and Gavin Meeker ’25 are not pictured.
