Hello! Cool post, amazing!!!
If you’re interested in a more rigorous scientific paper that says very much the same kinds of things, check
Adesope, O.O., Lavin, T., Thomposn, T. & Ungerleider C. (2010). A systematic review and meta-analysis of the cognitive correlates of bilingualism. Review of Educational Research 80, 207-245.

Also interested to connect with a member of your team to share info and discuss opportunities for collaboration, but unable to find site/org admin/contact – I will keep looking, but please feel free to contact me also.
Although it’s not a “success story,” the NTI-commissioned report Is Nunavut Education Criminally Inadequate sheds light on why “success stories” are so important and why there aren’t enough of them. It’s definitely worth reading and discussing, especially Chapter 3.
