We have reached a significant point in development of our Student
governing body and the leadership it provides. At today's Student
Council meeting, Spartan College Vice President (Ryan Goertzen) and
Director of Student Services (Ron Worthington) presented a $5000.00
check to the student body! Thank you Spartan! Spartan has shown that
they are committed to developing a "complete" Student.
This is the essence of Spartan leadership, part of Student Council's
goals, and a huge step towards ensuring unhindered student development.
We had a turn out of 62 students. By far the best attendance we
have had in my personal recollection. We even had instructors show up!
Thanks to Gene from the library for being in attendance.
The Student Council also presented the
student body with a Shadow Box display that contained a hat signed by
Buford Johnson (Tuskegee Airman!) Buford Johnson's P-47N was one of four
aircraft used in the U.S. Air Force Gunnery Meet at Nellis AFB, Nevada.
The first TOP GUN competition! Look him up he's a living legend! This
box will be going on the wall very soon.
I was
more than pleased with the number of students that attended our
meeting. Mr Goertzen's, Mr Crawford's, and council member efforts
towards attendance are much appreciated. I am sure this was a first
meeting for some and hopefully not the last for any. My cabinet is
responsible for a very full agenda and committed to working towards many
goals. Goals we may not reach without student support. This is your
school, your council, and your future; come to the meetings every
tuesday
that you can; communicate to connect. Learn what opportunities you may
otherwise not be aware of. Some students will decide to take
ownership of their learning experience and Some students will become
leaders in the development of their education, their school, their
ethos, and their future. If we can't find the path, we will make one.
Some will still choose to say that others are to blame for where they
are. This is a fallacy.
