DALLAS, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, March 2, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On Saturday, March 4th, Irving-based Shoebacca in partnership with Junior League of Dallas, will launch its new growth mindset initiative, the Shoebacca School Ties program, at Umphrey Lee Elementary School in Dallas, TX. As part of the initiative, each year, Shoebacca will select a school within its community to visit and teach them to tie their shoes as well as provide a generous donation to the student body so each child will have a brand-new pair of shoes to practice with.

A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence is learned rather than fixed intelligence. A person is not born as either “smart” or “dumb”. Students with growth-oriented mindsets understand that setbacks are a necessary part of the process and tend to “bounce back” compared to those with a fixed mindset. There is a substantial amount of research showing a growth mindset has a positive effect on motivation, academic performance, and financial success.

“Tying our shoes is an important life skill that is learned. You try many times before you finally succeed which fosters development of a growth mindset. Shoebacca’s School Ties program encourages today’s youth to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy the effort, and keep on learning,” said Jill Hogg, Junior League Member and Head of Customer Experience at Shoebacca.

The Shoebacca School Ties mission is to help children build confidence in their ability to learn by helping them learn a new, yet simple skill, tying their shoelaces. Each child is encouraged to learn to tie their shoelaces through practice and perseverance. With this in mind, representatives from the Junior League of Dallas and Shoebacca will visit Umphrey Lee Elementary to personally teach kindergartners how to tie their shoes and donate over $6,000 worth of athletic shoes to its student body.
