Lady Tigers Launches GPA Program
COACH STARKEY (10-22-09):
A new element of our program's community outreach program this year is our partnership with the East Baton Rouge Parish School system. We have initiated GPA (which stands for Goals, Perserverance, and Achievement). There are many components to the program which we will talk about throughout the year but one of the main ones is having local elementary schools "adopt" a player from our team. That player than visits the school at various times to mentor the students and help with other school projects. Today was the first day and are first Lady Tiger representatives were Adrienne Webb (Highland Elementary), Destini Hughes (Park Elementary) and LaSondra Barrett who joined with Temeka Johnson to visit Scotlandville Elementary. Our young ladies did a great job today and we are really proud to have them give back on a day off -- but it is THE LADY TIGER WAY!
