ing in an intellectually stimulating
environment outside of the regular
classroom, according to Donna
Snyder, a former teacher, elementary
school principal and university
professor who designed the program’s
curriculum.
ountainside “In Leadership we learned how to
give SENIOR LIVING a proper presentation,”
explained Maupin. “We talked
about making eye contact with the
audience, keeping a good pace in
our speech, speaking loudly
enough but not too loud, and using
proper visual aids for what we were
doing. We also talked about our
personality types and which group
we

fit into. We learned about nonverbal
communication, such as sign

language and writing.
“In CSI-2 I learned how to analyze
handwriting, measure blood
drops (with fake blood), how to
measure the density of glass and
how to figure out what kind of tool
was used to pry something open,”
she said. “We were also able to use a

microscope. We learned what DNA
fingerprints are and how to present
our case in court. We worked on a
case that was solved a few years ago.
“I would like to do the program
for middle school, if given the
chance,” she added.
“We learned a lot about being
more responsible,” said Sandridge,
“and how to be a great leader in
your community, in your school,
and anywhere you can to step up
and help someone. It was also very
worth the effort we put into raising
money and it was an wonderful
learning experience, overall.”
To help pay their way, the girls
wrote letters to local businesses,
family and friends. Maupin helped
Sandridge sell lettuce at the Crozet
Farmers Market and they baked all
the goods for their bake sale. (“Mom
washed the dishes for me,” Maupin
said.) The bake sale raised over
$200.
“I wasn’t able to raise all of the
money I needed for NYSP,” said
Maupin. “But I tried to raise as
much as I could. Part of being a
leader is taking responsibility for the
things you want to do.”
