2019 Lead4Change Second Round Challenge Winners Are
The five grand prize recipient teams are:
- Fort Lauderdale High School, “Brightcasters” team, Fort Lauderdale, Florida – A team of ten high school students formed a mindfulness club to take tragic events such as Parkland and focus on positivity, mindfulness and changing the culture of their school. The group became incorporated as a non-profit organization. Jill Malman said, “Lead4Change helped Brightcasters set clear goals, create an action plan and have an overall structure. This came at the perfect time, allowing student leaders to shine.”
- Menchville High School, “Fare Share” team, Newport News, Virginia – This year students renamed their club “Fare Share” and focused on several ways to improve their community. Twenty-one students managed their time and efforts to accomplish each of their goals – from food drives to anti-bullying campaigns. In the fifth year of offering Lead4Change at Menchville High School, teacher Peter Mercier said, “This program develops leadership, discipline, motivation and empathy in students. Every student who participates learns how to take an active leadership role.”
- Stockbridge High School, “SHS NHS RRR” team, Stockbridge, Georgia – Designed as a National Honor Society project, this team collected plastic bottles to construct a greenhouse, used a food computer and encouraged community composting. The 28 students involved the entire school, parents and community members to achieve their goals, while learning and teaching STEAM concepts. Teacher Josephine Jeganathan said, “Accessing the lessons through Google Classroom allowed students to use Lead4Change at their own pace. Students worked tirelessly and remained open to new learning at every point.”
- Ft. Zumwalt South High School, “Ft. Zumwalt FBLA/DECA” team, Saint Peters, Missouri – Inspired by fellow students who had been granted a wish from Make-A-Wish, FBLA and DECA students raised almost $3,000 to help fund a Wish. When FBLA and DECA students applied Lead4Change lessons, they achieved more than any previous year. Teacher Anne Klemme said, “The Lead4Change experience reinforced what we are trying to teach – it’s not always about what you want, but how you can help others.”
- Ogden High School, “FCCLA United” team, Ogden, Utah – Six FCCLA students set a big goal of improving the lives of young children through service. Hosting a variety of events to provide support for at-risk and special needs youth, the students invested over 450 volunteer hours, collected close to 2,000 food items and served 450 meals. Teacher Shaylene Parry said, “These students were amazed, in the last lesson, to see how much they accomplished. They also improved their own self-esteem through this experience and have found their place at Ogden High.”
