CU Honors Denver Achievement Academy (DAA) Student
Kurtesha Lexion enrolled in DAA last year as a fifth grader struggling with motivation, math skills, and the joy of learning. On 11/12/11 Kurtesha was honored by the University of Colorado at halftime of their football game for her improvement in attitude, effort, and math performance. Her mother, Nora, (pictured above with Kurtesha) proudly says, “Thank you so much to the DAA for helping my daughter achieve academic and athletic success in your program.  I see a remarkable difference in her attitude; she exhibits more enthusiasm for life, her studies, and has improved her athleticism and decision making.  I am extremely proud of my daughter's accomplishments in the DAA program.  I would like to thank the staff for all of their hard work, support and patience! Kurtesha states simply, “I would like to thank all of the DAA people for helping me change and grow in a positive way.  It really has changed my outlook on sports. I like them now! Academically, I finally get it! Thank you!
