Now even though we took a field trip to Town &Country (Joliet) yesterday we still got in our…

  • Wellness Check (Emotional Intelligence)
  • Affirmations 
  • African American Leader in History (Erving “Magic” Johnson)

Yesterday we conducted a brief history lesson on Magic Johnson. We highlighted his recent accomplishment of becoming a part owner of the Washington Commanders.

Absolutely Awesome Behavior……

Overall, these people did an  OUTSTANDING job 

Shout out to team leads Marcus Gallegos and Jada Cooley.

First, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the blessing, honor and privilege of having the opportunity of “chopping it up” with you. It was a time I will never forget. Your expressed love for humanity and especially our young people, is very compelling. You articulated your strength, vision, strategy, creativity and perseverance to fulfil the purpose God has given you for humanity. You are not just talking a good talk but actually doing what we chopped it up about.
