    A4) Favorite one you shared was #respect . Each person on a team is significant and has unmeasurable value to the overall accomplishments achieved. Don't compete, respect, share and celebrate. #ChampForKids

      We wrote a grant for our local education foundation and receive funding from Renee’s Cheerios (which I describe in my book - coming soon!) You could always get funding from business partners and community stakeholders, too! #champforkids #passionforkindness

    BA. I listen to their problems and concerns. I teach them tools to advocate for themselves and share their voice. I tell them that I will support, guide, listen whatever they need to feel successful. I tell them that I believe in them and they be anything they want. #champforkids
