Our GEAR UP Ambassadors recently had the opportunity to attend the SEEDS field trip at Region One, where they participated in an interactive leadership workshop focused on building confidence, communication, and leadership skills.
These students were selected because they consistently demonstrate strong leadership, dedication, and active participation within our program. Throughout the workshop, they engaged in meaningful discussions and activities that challenged them to grow as leaders and role models among their peers.
We are incredibly proud of our ambassadors for representing our school so well and for continuing to invest in their personal and academic growth. Experiences like SEEDS help plant the seeds for future success! 🌟👏
