We are very proud of the amount of work we have been able to accomplish here at Bethune Middle School with the Girls Build LA Project. From creating our own website, managing our own Instagram account, to interacting with our peers during lunchtime activities; we are truly amazed and happy to have made a positive impact at our school.

 

Here are a few shared testimonies from our GBLA project:

 

“Because of this program, the students at our school participated in positive activities during lunch time and stayed out of trouble. There was less chaos and commotion during lunch and more peace for the most part.”

 

“We started this program from scratch and reached out to a lot of students, but hopefully next year we will help out even more.”

 

“I can see from the lunch time activities that students were happier and had something fun and relaxing to look forward to. Every time we finished an activity, students kept asking what we were planning for the next one. They were so excited!”

 

“I love GBLA, it distracted my mind and other students minds from negative thinking. We are learning to make healthier and better choices."
