This is the image for the news article titled Laker Leadership Council Members of the Laker Leadership Council are preparing for an upcoming project to mentor young students. 
During a recent meeting, they all received copies of their new "2nd and 7" books. In a few weeks, Laker Leadership Council members will go as a group to the elementary school. They will read the books series to second graders and try to form friendships with the little Lakers who look up to them. During their meeting, they practiced reading the books, showing the pictures and asking engaging questions. The LLC is scheduled to visit ILES on the afternoon of Friday, January 21st. They will to the elementary several more times this spring. 


In their latest meeting, the Laker Leadership Council planned for the new year and discussed what kind of activities for youth they'd like to see come to our area. 
After the holiday break, members of the LLC will be participating in a program called 2nd and 7 to promote reading and positive role models at the elementary school. They will partner with classrooms to read to the kids in a cross campus mentor program. A few council members will work with ILES Principal Mrs. Molly Hall to finalize the schedule. 
In addition, IL Superintendent Dr. Rob Underwood posed the question "What kinds of activities and entertainment would young people like to see in our area?" They noted that we are lucky to have Indian Lake and Mad River Mountain close by, but they would like to see more dining options, movie theatres and free places to hang out.
