R1SE, Inc. to build "student dream facility" near Uptown

  The Frankenmuth community will soon have another educational venue to help build the future of our youth.

 R1SE, Inc. will be breaking ground for their third learning center, a state-of-the-art student facility, at 1pm Wednesday, December 10. The building will be on Keystone Way, neighboring Uptown North Main.

  Designed for elementary and middle school students, the Frankenmuth R1SE will measure 7,500-square feet of innovation, featuring NxtGen learning spaces, a 𠇍unk House” gym, video game lounge, movie theater, reading loft, bounce house, and more, according to R1SE, Inc Founder & CEO Trevor Szafranski.

  The new “student dream facility” design is 1.5 stories with a lower level, gym, and entertainment mezzanine, and will have a modern exterior look to the building.

  “We felt it was a nice marriage between touches of Bavarian and touches of modern. We tried to honor both,” Szafranski said.

  R1SE’s team of 15 educators will offer before school, after school, and summer programs supported by the Frankenmuth School District Transportation Department.

  “The mission of R1SE is to help students soar in and out of the classroom by handling all academics (homework, test preparation, �mic training,’ tutoring, success habits) and rewarding with an unrivaled social and recreation experience,” Szafranski explained.

  Szafranski also pointed out parents will be rewarded with stress-free evenings and the ultimate peace of mind, knowing their children are confident and ready for the next day.

  R1SE will welcome Frankenmuth, St. Lorenz Lutheran, and surrounding school districts. Registration is already open for the next school year at r1seup.com. .....
