Members of the Laker Leadership Council met with ILES second graders recently to read a story and share their love of reading, sports, music, art and other extracurriculars.
They presented the first book in their "Second and 7 Hog Mollies" series that focuses on overarching ideas like being kind, including everyone, hygiene and more.
This is the second year that Laker Leadership Council members are participating in this outreach with our younger students to give them positive role models in the upper grade levels.
The Laker Leadership Council is ready to get to work this school year. They met recently for the first time this fall.
The first order of business was to sign up for 2nd and 7 reading outreach with the second graders at ILES. They will continue sharing their "Hog Mollies" stories that focus character building. LLC members will visit the elementary monthly to continue the program that began last school year.
Finally, they also talked about the new statewide no cell phone policy and how that affects communication with parents and other students through out the day. Most students said they are able to better concentrate without their phones as a distraction.
They also discussed potential freshmen who may be chosen for the council. Several 9th graders will be invited to join for their input.
The Laker Leadership Council is group of high school students from every grade level who meet with and advise Superintendent Rob Underwood throughout the school year.
