Meet Brooklyn – an 11 year old Leader of Good

My 11 year old son, Brooklyn, came to my husband and I when he was ten and asked if he could form his own Cancer Relay for Life team. We were both very pleased to tell him yes he could form a team. He got together a team of eight people. He, himself raised over $3,000 this year for his team. He was the second highest person in Cleveland county to raise the most money. He stayed at the Relay until it was over (from 7pm Friday until 7am Sat.). He was so inspirational to folks that his teachers at his elementary school (who already have a team) asked if he would be their team captain next year to help them raise money. He did every bit of this himself and we are very proud of him and think that he makes a fine “Leader of Good”. – Gina

PTA co-president supports StinkyKids motto

As I was getting dressed with my StinkyKids Brand T-shirt this morning, I thought that this should be our uniform for the general PTA meetings.  Having “Always Be A Leader of Good” displayed on our chests with adorable happy children, supports the whole reason why we are part of the organization in the first place.   A great reminder for all adults and kids alike.
All the best wishes,
Susie B. Lazega
Morningside Elementary School PTA
co- President ’07-’08

My sons are ‘Leaders of Good’ because they show tremendous compassion

My sons, Cale 16 and Zach 18, are “Leaders of Good” because they show tremendous compassion. This past 2 years has been especially hard on our family. The boys lost an uncle and grandpa within 6 wks of each other. The uncle was unexpected, the grandpa was a 19 mo. battle with lung cancer. They stepped up and helped out more at home while I was staying with my dad. Then in May of this year, my husband and I separated. Once again, they were there for me and helped carry me through the year. This Thanksgiving, the 3 of us volunteered at our Community Thanksgiving Dinner. They weren’t thrilled about going, but once they got there, they jumped right in and did everything that was asked of them. When we finally sat down to eat together, they asked if we could do it again next year because it was fun and they liked the idea of helping others.
