One Big Step ~ A Step Show to Promote Education was presented by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana on Saturday, May 1st from 1:30-3:30 at the Clifton Chenier Center. Although Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana focuses primarily on one-to-one mentoring, One Big Step was an attempt to reach out to the children on our waiting list, as well as those currently in our program, with a positive message about the importance of education. Performers included step teams from UL’s Alpha Phi Alpha & Sigma Gamma Rho, Comeaux High School and Northside High School. By showing examples of these talented individuals and groups, whose membership requires maintaining a certain GPA and upholding a Code of Conduct, One Big Step highlighted the importance of making good grades and reaching for higher education. Kenneth Boudreaux served as the Master of Ceremonies for the event. Other speakers included Tonya Bolden-Ball, Willy Ricks, Crystal Quillen and Aaron Williams who all serve as mentors and positive role models in our program.
