This was a great experience for Chad Smith who received a Cadillac Escalade limousine ride. He walked out of the Crestwood Middle School like a celebrity. And every eye of all Crestwood students was stuck on the SUV which was parked on the lot of the school. They wonder what this huge gallant SUV was doing inside the school.

Along with Jeff Mills and Javontae Walton, they were honored to be the most outstanding academic students and for as a complement to their achievements, they were picked out of the class to be one among the few chosen ones to ride on the limousine heading to the Celebration Cinema South to watch Shrek 3.

These students were given this rare chance because they have proven that they can achieve high grades and be outstanding among the class. And all their hard work as well as their patience has then become their key to experience riding the Cadillac Escalade limousine. This limo has an unidentified provider. Everybody in the school was stunned by the parked huge vehicle in the area.

Fred Sorbo, the coordinator of Kentwood Public Schools Home Intervention, said, "These are kids who were performing poorly last year and showed the biggest academic improvement. They were all failing and have now made the adjustments towards being successful. We want to publicly honor them. This kid here; (Smith) last year he had all E's and this year he has all As and one B. This is to celebrate academic achievement and to send a message to all these kids checking out the limo. This is just another way to show that we are creating a culture of academic achievement."

As of Smith, he wanted to be a football player and he is quite happy with his grandparents for they did do their share and helped him manage to raise his grade very quickly. He said that they also need recognition. "My grandparents helped me and pushed me. Plus you can't play football if you have bad grades," Smith said.

Both Miki Vernet, an East Kentwood High School junior, as well as Tarien Williams, a freshman, were the tutors for the programs and as a reward, they also joined the gang to watch the movie with their pupils.

"It feels good because I know I'm helping to make a difference. We would help them with questions they had and if I didn't know the answer, then Tarien would help," expresses Vernet.

The Director, Mark Wilson, of Kentwood Community Church Family was very appreciative that he said he will do something in order to honor these students who worked hard and managed to get it to the top.

He adds, "There are so many awards set aside for sports achievement, but very rarely do you see anything given to students who overcome academic struggles. For the school to do something for these students is different and nice."

Or what brand and model it is? We usually see the President’s vehicle with convoys and bodyguards in the front, sides and back whenever a parade or any special event takes place - well, that is with the presence of the President. Well anyway, the 2006 Cadillac Presidential Limousine is a hand-crafted and armored version of the Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan) specially built for the United States President. The latest Cadillac DTS first appeared and used during the second induction parade of George W. Bush as President in January 20, 2005. The President’s Limousine was customized and built by O’Gara Hess and Eisenhart - names used to a former team of auto engineers which specialize in the armory of the President’s Limousine and vehicles for the heads of the state. These originated in 1942 at Fairfield, Ohio. The construction group is now part of defense contractor BAE Systems Inc. BAE is an American subordinate of the British defense firm BAE Systems PLC. Armor Holdings, headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., acquired Fairfield-based O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt in 2001. In turn, Armor was obtained by BAE in May 2007. The transaction is planned to secure in the third part of 2007. The projected acquirement is presently being appraised for antitrust and national security propositions by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. funkylimos wrote @ 12:33 AM || Add a Comment « 2007/05 | 2007/07 »
