Building Tomorrow Today
Hattiesburg Lions Club
Supports
Lions-Quest
The Hattiesburg Lions Club strongly supports the Lions-Quest initiative, a joint venture of Lions Clubs International and Quest International. Lions-Quest Workshops provide educators with value based education tools, which enhance the student classroom and community involvement. Workshops in Mississippi are funded by a $250,000 grant from the Lions Clubs International Foundation, with matching funds provided by the Lions Clubs of Mississippi.
Educators, parents, and active community members have an opportunity to touch the lives of young people everyday. Through caring, understanding, guidance, and teaching, we can build tomorrow. Lions-Quest helps provide critical tools to accomplish this purpose.

Creating a Positive Environment
"I
have come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the
classroom. It's my personal approach that creates the climate. It's my daily
mood that makes the weather.
"As a teacher, I possess
a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a
tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor,
hurt or heal.
"In all situations, it
is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated
and a child humanized or dehumanized."
Dr. Haim G. Ginott
Child and Teacher, 1972
