LEAD: Shoutout to some of our student helpers! We are so appreciative of their help and the wonderful role models they are throughout the school.

Liz and Skyler from our Leadership Development Class have done an amazing job of reading the announcements this week. Their voices have been clear and professional, helping us start our days off right!

Harper, Milly and Lily from our Leader In Me PE Class helped us out last week and delivered things to staff! Their reliability and willingness to pitch in made a big difference in getting things where they needed to go quickly.

We are so proud of all our student volunteers for demonstrating responsibility, initiative and dedication! Way to lead like a Lancer!
