Promoting Literacy is what we do at Kelso! Our scholars Win, with a book in their hands. Honey is sweet and so is knowledge, but knowledge is like the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to chase it through the pages of a book.-Patricia Polacco Shawna L Punch @HisdSouth

Motivation is an essential element to our scholars success! They must first know you believe in them, so they can believe in themselves!! “Leadership is conveying a person worth in such a way they begin to believe it themselves!”- Steven Covey Shawna L Punch @HisdSouth
