Let's Get It Started
There is no better time than right now to unpack that August/September enthusiasm, super-fantastic joy and Belt Line awesomeness to jumpstart 2016.
Some of you might have made a resolution for 2016. That's great except research says 9 out of 10 will fail at reaching their resolution and 1/2 will fail by the end of January. So, instead let's choose one word that you will pick to inspire you in 2016 to become a CHAMPION 4 KIDS! I need everyone to Post there word outside of your door, on colored paper. My word is going to be GROWTH. I look forward to seeing what your word is. Let's post by END OF THE DAY TOMORROW. BLE Staff are CHAMPIONS for kids: What ever it takes to help OUR kids succeed.
