Testimonials
" I just want to thank you ever so much for making me, by far, the most proud mother on the face of this earth. I've asked for help in the past for my daughter from many resource centers and various people and schools. I even had one in a school tell me that she was not a child that could be helped and she was not worth their time. Thanks, for not only changing my daughter's life, but mine."
Darla Partlow, Mother
"This program is another building block to enhance the trials of peer pressure, reduce violence, reduce the dropout rate and reduce the drug use that our teens face today. This program promotes education and career goals and teaches alternatives for students to pursue higher education."
Sharon Brooks-Plunkett, Coordinator Shawnee High School
" This program will help me later in life because when I think of doing something bad I will think of Miss La Glenda."
Jason Marks, Past Student
"DO NOT DROP THIS PROGRAM! My daughter has not missed one day. She wakes up thrilled to go and comes home full of information to share with me. I do not know if the teachers are paid or volunteer, but they have been wonderful !"
Lorie L. Daniels, Parent
"The sincere manner in which La Glenda works with the girls allows them to be actively engaged in the programs in an honest successful manner. She is creative, intelligent, and fosters a great respect for the needs, feelings, and rights of others."
Deborah Barnes-Byers, Outreach Director
Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana
" Many of La Glenda's students prior to participating in this self esteem program were below average, however, because of La Glenda's teaching example many of her students began to be on the Honors Society, and manifest positive and beautiful attitudes. Today these students are young ladies pursuing higher educational goals, along with the positive spirit of charm and good character."
Roy H. Streeter, Board Member

"I met Ms. La Glenda eighteen years ago shortly after she moved to Louisville, and when she had first joined St. Stephen Baptist Church. I was willing to invest in her when she was at he lowest point and saw her improve into a fine Christian Woman. I will say without doubt, that her way of doing things is impeccable."
