Building spirit and conference at schools was the topic of a leadership conference attended by Leadership class students on Jan 31. The 11-member group was chaperoned by assistant principal Kerry Mohnike and teacher Arnaldo Rodriguex.
“The conference gave us some tips that we will definitely bring back to the school,” senior Katie Truong said. “It was also a good bonding time with some of the students of leadership, which makes us stronger as a group.”
According to sophomore Luke Salin, the speaker of the conference, Keith Hawkins, covered specific points, such as not being afraid of being judged and respecting the wisdom of mentors. The message, said Salin, was that each decides who we are and how we impact the world.
After the conference, the students went to Disneyland on Feb. 1 and Feb. 2.
“There's nothing better than spending three days with great friends at the happiest place on earth,” Salin said. “Words can't describe how great it was.”
