C.L.I.M.B. (Creating Leaders In Mind & Body), a non-profit organization, sponsored its Business Academy here at Baldwin Hills. In addition to a monetary donation, CLIMB also sponsored the uniforms to be worn by the "small business companies" in the program, as well as provide a series of outstanding guest speakers from the field of business to share their experiences with the students.
CLIMB Business Academy teaches the youth the basics of entrepreneurship, business, and finance in a hands-on manner. This project-based learning program gives children the opportunity to learn first-hand how to start and operate their own business. Working in teams of 6, students start, fund, and operate their own business.
The program was run in Mr. Billups' Room 32. The Founder/President of CLIMB is Mr. Billups' son, Kenneth Billups III.

Student Lunches!!
Please arrange for your child to bring their lunch and/or money to school with them each morning. We are having a large number of parents bringing lunches to the office on a daily basis. This causes disruption to the instructional program. I am also asking parents to provide a healthy lunch. Please do not bring fast food, with soda (McDonalds, Burger King, etc.) to school for children to eat. We ask that parents send lunch with students in the morning. We appreciate your cooperation.
------------------------------
Healthy Snacks
We are asking all students that bring snacks to school to please bring a healthy snack to eat at recess. Healthy snack suggestions are fresh fruit, fruit cup, raisins, granola bars, juice, carrot sticks, celery, nuts, etc. Please do not allow your child to bring hot chips, gum, candy, or soda for snack. These are not foods on the LAUSD list of healthy foods.
------------------------------
School Uniforms!
We will continue to encourage our students to wear school uniforms. Thank you to all the families that are wearing uniforms. The students have a great deal of pride and self-esteem. Their confidence is very high. Thank you for your support.
