Lebron James to Open School For At Risk Students in His Hometown of Akron!

Lebron James is really for the kids and he is giving them something from his hometown to look forward too. LeBron James is in the works of developing and building his own school, I PROMISE, in a partnership between his LeBron James Family Foundation and Akron’s public schools.

According to The Score:

James, who has been committed to helping kids in his hometown through a variety of educational programs, is teaming up with Akron public schools to open the ”I Promise School” dedicated to aiding at-risk children who might otherwise be left behind.

The school, which will be backed by James’ family foundation, will open in the fall of 2018 and focus on children in third and fourth grades. By 2022, the school will expand to accommodate students in grades one through eight.

We don’t need more LeBron’s, we need more physical therapists, scientists, police officers, teachers, doctors, professors, physicists, computer engineers, etc!! I want every kid to know there is absolutely NO LIMIT to what you can be. Your dreams are there for you to EARN. The teacher/accountant/scientist/dr/etc is just as talented as any athlete, if not more. I can’t even begin to tell you guys how many incredible men & women I work with who have never seen the court but are just as vital to our success as I am. There’s no way my game is what it is without them. Open your heart & mind to the world around you. See the possible. Dream big. Then work your tail off and chase it. s/o to everyone involved in #weneedmore. #striveforgreatness #earnednotgiven
