This was my favorite conference as a student and there is no doubt that it still is my favorite. I truly believe that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of our students!
Listening to the students discuss the heavy debate that occurred during the sessions was super cool. They were really getting into these bills and had strong opinions about them.
Following the sessions the students went out into the community and did community service. Our group went to the central food bank. We packaged 600 senior food boxes and sorted several crates. The food bank was blown away by our students motivation and accomplishments. They did not have enough tasks prepared for the students to do.
Great time and sure hope I get to take students next year!
Mindy,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that you are engaged with your students in their learning, even beyond the classroom. These are the types of experiences that they, and you, will remember many years to come.
