LITTLE BROTHER LITTLE SISTERS STRIVING FOR SUCCESS slideshow

One of our schols Premier Student Activities is The Little Brother Little Sisters Striving for Success (LBSSS) which was founded on November 8, 2006 by Solomon Homidas. The first original founding members were Dr. Edith C. Hall (our former Principal and currently a Region 3 Director), Ms. L. Sharpe, Ms. T. Kinchens, Mr. F. Saint, Mr. L. Eason and Mr. J. Ellis.

The purpose of the program is to educate and motivate students to make the right choices in life as well as to help them define what it takes to be successful. Students receive mentor teachers who will be able to answer appropriate questions and concerns of each student. The doors are open to all 2nd - 5th grade students at Van E. Blanton Elementary School.

Boys learn about manners, decision making, self control and other important character building skills. Additionally, they learn how to play football and basketball. Girls will learn about ettiquette, manners, politeness, and other life skills. They participate in cheerleading, dance, and "stepping." This is a positive organization that is geared towards students reaching their fullest potential and planning for the future and beyond.

We believe there comes a time in every child's life when just getting good grades in school is not enough. Students need to be inspired, cherished, taught, and encouraged to have hopes and dreams. "Every child is a winner everyday" here at Van E. Blanton Elementary School. We want our future doctors, lawyers, engineers, and teachers to come to the realization that they are indeed awesome!
