MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Dillard Elementary School is to afford each student the opportunity to receive a quality education within a safe and secure learning environment.
The “Bess Friends” program was developed by Miami Dolphins wide receiver, Davone Bess as part of his recently established, The Bess Route Foundation, dedicated to shaping positive lifestyles for underprivileged youth in South Florida, throughout the United States and abroad.
Bess Friends is a comprehensive initiative designed to inspire high school students from underserved communities and to empower these same students to serve as positive role models for their younger generation. Davone Bess anchors the Bess Friends program with his uniquely personal story of rebuilding, redemption and overcoming, and supports his efforts with ego management practices and interactive on-stage performances specifically developed to address situations to which young people will relate.
Bess Friends also features a mentoring component, having partnered with the School Board of Broward County to implement the program in conjunction with the Peer Counseling curriculums at eight local high schools. Students participating in this initiative will be matched with children from elementary schools located in their respective communities and will meet twice a month with their “Bess Friend.” The program aims to provide the younger children with positive examples they can relate to and to develop the high school students as community leaders.
