What can I say! This is what progress means to me. I am blessed and I truly thank God for moving in C.J. life. He has really been having some troubles at his old school with his grades. I knew that C.J. could develop much better in a caring school environment. I just love his teacher Ms. YoungBlood, she is his math teacher. After talking with her, my heart was at ease. I have really noticed a change in his school work, but his behavior has yet to reach it's full potential. Yet and still I am so proud of Him. Yesterday I received his report card from Bayles Elementary. I was overwhelmed! I just wanted to cry! He did an awesome job!!!!!! here are the results.

Math-70

Social Studies-75

PE-100

Compared to the grades he received from H.S.Thompson, his grades have went up.

Now what does that tell you? It tells me that if you have positive influences in the schools our children can succeed!! Good Job Stank!!!

Prayer Breakfast

The prayer breakfast was great. And it was an honor to be there and to here all the mayoral candidate's speak. They did an awesome job and it was really a privilege to be there. I want to thank CDM for standing up and doing more than just talk about the issues of so many people.

2007 CDM Prayer Breakfast

This morning's prayer breakfast was a wonderful event. The venue was beautiful, the crowd was great, and the CDM staff coordinated quite a successful morning.

Special kudos go to Ms. Wyshina Harris for courageously and eloquently representing an often-overlooked, yet incredibly important group within our community! Wyshina, you did a fabulous job and we are so proud of you!

I was glad to hear from all of the mayoral candidates present.

I hope that they have heard the voices of South Dallas -- and ALL of Dallas -- regarding our concern for the important issues which were presented this morning.

Thanks to all of those who helped to bring these issues to the forefront of the mayoral race.

Remember, early voting begins this Monday, April 30th, and Election Day is May 12th -- let's all get out there and vote for the candidate who will best lead our city into a brighter future!
