Kickstart Kids

Repost from Fort Bend ISD Superintendent, Dr. Marc Smith

"What an incredible evening celebrating Kickstart Kids! 🥋 The Dulles Demonstration Team closed out the event in style, showcasing the discipline, confidence and character this program builds.

With 2,309 FBISD middle school students participating across all 16 campuses, Kickstart Kids is making a difference.

Superintendents: Bring Kickstart Kids to your district and give your students the opportunity to build skills that will last a lifetime!"

Just like instructor Jazmin Urquieta, whose life was impacted by Kickstart Kids, countless students have been inspired by the lessons of character, discipline, confidence, and respect that define our program. ❤️🥋

This Thursday, we’ll come together to honor Mr. Norris, celebrate the lives touched by his vision, and carry his impact forward to the next generation. His legacy lives on through the lives he inspired.
