Kids are fun to be around. Just like you can teach them, they can teach you. Basically, if we don't focus, give back and do something, who will?

The students would not only get help with the FCAT they will also get a mentor who will listen and respect them, a true friend.

Because society tends to focus more on the negative aspects of our black youth, like stealing, fighting and underachievement, Students Studying for Success will help to project the positive aspects.

Fast-pitch is here. I think it's going to get better and better. It's amazing to see how many kids have gotten into it in such a short period of time, especially our girls with the success they had this year.

It would have been real easy for the kids to get down after last night, but I was really proud of the way they came out today and took care of business.

I want you kids to know how much we appreciate you. Have fun and behave.
