About the Book
Guidance ~N~ Action is preparation endowed with an infinite affiliation for success. This program is designed to cultivate the traditional stance of public school life to an elevated advancement that involves closing the gap between the children that are celebrated and those that are tolerated. The guiding lights of our mission are to induce students understanding and conceptual outlook of life, develop and maintain greater coping and adaptation skills toward the overall school experience. Children often times steer where they stare, however with proper guidance imparted they can be groomed into being responsible, well rounded adults. Moreover, the vision entails the conception of liberation for every child to push past their immediate environment to reach the climax of possibilities for tomorrow. The program is patterned to transform dreams into reality with the energetic concept of GGL (Go expecting, Get what you came for, and Leave Smiling).
