WELCOME TO SPI!

5th graders enthusiastically raise their hands to be a part of the assembly activity

1/8

SPI is an initiative that Alana created going into her freshman year of high school. Based on her book, Creating Confidence, Alana took those tools and implemented them into the schools to prepare students for their matriculation into middle school.

SPI goes to Elementary schools and speaks to 5th graders about the importance of self-confidence and positivity in an assembly environment. The assemblies are extremely interactive as many games are played with the students, which are followed by lessons.

The topics focus on visualization, teamwork, positivity, confidence, and dreams/goals. SPI has reached out to over 1,500 students and plans to grow to increase its impact!

SPI is based on...
