"Tooth Fairy" - Private Screening w/Co-Star, Chase Ellison

Alana's Achievers and Athletes for Education (AFE) hosted a private screening for "Tooth Fairy" this past Saturday for over 80 kids in Alana's Achievers & AFE's "reading for life" program and other AFE programs. The students were from Florence Griffith Joyner Microsociety Elementary, L.G. Rodriguez Elementary and Sunset Elementary. All three schools participate in AFE's mentorship programs; "Reading for Life" and the SG Squad Wellness Program so having the opportunity to reward the kids for all their work was very exciting.

Why Volunteering Can Be So Rewarding

For those of you who may have missed this video posting on Facebook, I wanted to share this clip (link is below) of the last visit of "Tra & Alana's Reading for Life" program from last July. The kids did not know Tra would be there so they were so surprised and happy to see him again! The students were given certificates from participating in their reading program and a book. There is an interview with Tra Battle, my partner, former SD Charger, at the end of the clip that I hope you will watch.

The event was a great success and Kourtney had a blast! I am so happy that she was feeling good enough to come and enjoy herself! I will be posting some interviews soon from the event very soon. A friend from my old acting class came to do some interviews for us so thank you Kymia!!!

Alana's Achievers by Toya Bryant

A very dear and talented friend, Toya Bryant, wrote this beautiful poem about Alana's Achievers and my goal to help others and inspire people everywhere to give of themselves to help those less fortunate! Thank you so much Toya for this incredible gift that I can share with the world!!! Love, Alana

ALANA'S ACHIEVERS
By Toya Bryant

Alana’s Achievers full of childhood dreams
Their view of the world is not all they see

They live to serve others and inspire their hope
As good friends and neighbors they help others to cope

Alana’s Achievers may be small in size

Alana's Achievers

I am very excited to bring awareness to my mentorship program … Alana’s Achievers! I have been very fortunate to have had many wonderful experiences by being cast on a hit TV show, season one of “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader.” I was able to meet many famous people and go to some really cool events so I want to help other kids who may not have the desire to be in show business but would just like to play sports or take a class in the arts but can’t afford it so I want to help as many kids as possible!!!
