Who is Accent On Success? 

I became social entrepreneurs after a life-changing event that involved my granddaughter. 

She attended a “magnet” school in the St. Louis Public School system.  At a parent– teacher conference I read some essays posted on a bulletin board entitled “The Night.”  One seventh grade girl wrote:

 

“I’m not afraid of the night.

I’m not even afraid when I hear bullets.

I take my brother and we lay down in the bathtub

until the shooting stops.”

 

Accent on Success®, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children succeed, is the direct result of that young girl’s essay.  John Bishop is the Executive Director of the organization.                       

Our first book, Goal Setting for Students®, took more than 1-½ years to write and had valuable input from more than twenty-five professionals with advanced degrees in teaching and curriculum development.  The book has received three national parenting book awards. 

After the awards John received numerous requests for additional ideas to help positively impact children’s lives.  The Teaching Moments life skills ideas that we email twice monthly to subscribers is our response to those requests.

We sell the book to help fund the organization's activities (much like the Girl Scouts sell cookies).  However, the Teaching Moments are FREE.
