On Wednesday night, we presented our third annual Cougar Talks program. More students that one night than the first two combined. I am full of pride over the way these students presented their talks. They were confident, mature, and extremely poised.

The students in the School & Community Leadership Program are excited to host this year’s Academic Field Day, The Day of Belonging on Tuesday. The program is filled with inspiring workshops, thoughtful discussions, cultural showcases, cultural showcases, and engaging activities.

[Mr. Seidman @MrSeidman]

I am incredibly proud of the students who have worked tirelessly over the past month to put this program together. They have scheduled guest speakers from various organizations, crafted workshops on their own, and collaborated with schools clubs to create this event.

The students in our Leadership III class present their CougarTalks tonight. Over the first semester, these students have identified and developed ideas they are passionate about and have transformed those ideas into a TED-style talk. The program is at 7pm in the auditorium.
