The last day of the school year always brings with it a sense of accomplishment and excitement for the summer days ahead. But this year at the I PROMISE School, the last day had an added element of surprise…
As the students went about their final day, each class was individually called to the Lion’s Den for a “family meeting.” While they listened to announcements and engaged with the speaker, a special visitor quietly entered through the doors in the back of the room. It didn’t take long for them to recognize the 6’9” kid from Akron who came by to spend the afternoon with his kids. There were hugs, high fives and happy tears all around as LeBron shared words of encouragement and conveyed the importance of hard work, respect, and role modeling in different ways to each grade level.
