Let's hear it for Olympic athlete and all-around good guy, Steve Mesler. You may remember him from Team Night Train, which won the gold medal in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. More importantly, he's the co-founder of Classroom Champions, which has the goal to:
To connect students in high-need schools with top performing athletes in order to motivate them to recognize their potential, set goals and dream big, while educating them in the practical use of communications technology. Not all kids have the benefit of strong role models who encourage them to envision for themselves a bright and successful future. Classrooms Champions aims to address these issues and many more by using our Olympians and Paralympians as role models for success and goal setting while increasing students’ digital literacy.It's for the children? Of course StickerGiant was happy to pitch in and donate some stickers!
