Winston-Salem Dash Mascot Visits Kimberley Park Elementary

This morning, Bolt, the mascot for the Winston-Salem Dash baseball team, dropped by Kimberley Park Elementary School, to hobnob with students having breakfast there before the school day started.

Bolt’s visit was sponsored by Chartwells School Dining Services, the school system’s food-service provider, to celebrate Kimberley Park winning the April promotion encouraging more students to eat breakfast at schools.

Bolt’s visit coincided with the school’s Dress for Success Day, so there were some sharp-looking boys and girls visiting with Bolt.

Prince Fuller, 10, was wearing the dress clothes that his family bought for his graduation from fifth grade. His sister, Jazmine, who is in fourth grade, was wearing a new dress. She was equally excited about seeing Bolt and about showing off her new dress.

Jazmine was eating next to fellow fourth-grader I’Janea Jordan who was wearing a new dress that her mother bought for her for Dress for Success Day.

Janice Moore, who works for Chartwells, and others were handing out photos of Bolt, and, once students realized that he would sign the pictures, a long line formed.

Jourdian Wilson, 7, Jayden Coleman, 8, and Tre’Shaun Withers, 9, were among the well-dressed students. Even though he is only in the third grade, Tre’Shaun already has his career path laid out in detail. First, he is going to join the Army. After that, he is going to be a police officer. Next, he is going to be a boxer. When he’s done being a boxer, he’s going to be a mechanic.

“And that’s it,” Tre’Shaun said.
