Junior Leadership Class:<br />
A welcome letter from Principal, Paula Reay at Trout Creek Elementary to Vice-Principal, Donna Moroz at<br />
Summerland Secondary thanking her for a presentation (from the Junior Leadership Class) that they put on<br />
for Trout Creek and Summerland Middle <strong>School</strong>.<br />
The Junior Leaders of SSS did a great job engaging the Trout Creek students in a range of activities to<br />
develop their understanding of self-esteem. The Leaders were full of energy and established a strong<br />
rapport with our kids. I was so impressed by the way they spoke to individual students and<br />
encouraged/supported kids to participate. The Leaders were very well prepared and comfortable presenting<br />
in front of both large and small groups.<br />
I know the program took a lot of work by yourself in order for it to run smoothly and to be so worthwhile so<br />
thank you for all you did. It was exciting to see the positive interaction and learning that occurred between<br />
these varied age groups.
