Los Angeles Avengers News Release
LOS ANGELES - "A-Team" dancers Jessica and Jenna spent the day visiting with the students at Lafayette Elementary School in Long Beach on Monday, July 17.
"The Avengers community school program has been very rewarding for me, giving me the opportunity to talk to these kids about the importance of school," Jessica said. "I think the students gained a lot from what Jenna and I had to say."
The A.C.H.I.E.V.E. curriculum is based on the characteristics that the Avengers believe are the keys to a student's success: A - Academics, C - Courage, H - Honesty, I - Involvement, E - Enthusiasm, V - Values, E - Excellence. 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. The ultimate goal is to encourage and positively influence students, rewarding them for their achievements with two complimentary tickets to a Los Angeles Avengers home game at STAPLES Center (categories include: good attendance, straight A's, improving grades and the ninth man award).
Over the last two seasons the Avengers have distributed 58,000 ticket vouchers to over 200 schools in the Los Angeles area to support the teams' "Stay In The Game to A.C.H.I.E.V.E." program.
