Last week a few of our Student Council leaders and their advisors Ms. DeLeon and Ms. Crabtree took a trip down to the Dock Jackson Jr. Professional Learning Center here is what they had to say about their experience.
"We had the incredible opportunity to take six 5th grade students to the TEPSA Student Leadership Conference, an engaging, high-energy event designed to develop strong campus leadership skills. Through hands-on activities, group collaboration, and even singing and dancing, students built their communication, teamwork, and service skills. These workshops empower students to lead effectively, foster a positive school spirit, and make a meaningful impact in their communities." -Mrs. DeLeon
Here are a few inspiring quotes and lessons that stuck with our students from the workshop:
Teagan Chandler: "It's not about me, it's about WE!"
Lillian Ball: " Be a leader and show everyone how to be better."
Kylie Williams: "If you're a leader that means you always believe in others."
Victorya Thomas: " We learned to be respectful and kind."
Teagan Gaddis: " Great leaders reach out and meet new people. Great leaders must learn to think differently and look for new ways to solve issues."
Halstead Elementary is so proud of these outstanding students for representing our school with such enthusiasm, respect, and leadership. 💙💛
