Los Angeles Avengers News Release
LOS ANGELES - "A-Team" dancers Jessica and Kristen spent the day visiting with the students at Washington Elementary school in Lynwood on Thursday, May 18.

Avenger players, coaches and "A-Team" dancers use examples from their own lives to demonstrate that working hard in school can enable you're dreams to become reality.
The "Stay In The Game to A.C.H.I.E.V.E." program, which combines motivational and reward opportunities for students with the access to the experiences and leadership of Avenger players, coaches and "A-Team" dancers.
