Priest Holmes visits CIS students at M.E. Pearson Elementary in KCK
|
|
Encourage! Enhance! Empower! That is the mantra of Priest Holmes, three-time Pro Bowler and former Kansas City Chiefs running back.
Holmes piqued the students' interest as he encouraged them to value their education so they may become empowered to enhance their own lives. In response, all fourth-grade students vigorously chanted those words, Encourage! Enhance! Empower!
