Leading in Lower School - CHRISTIAN STUDENT LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
CSLC (Christian Student Leadership Council) is a Lower School fifth and sixth grade student leadership group led by Lower School Principal, Mr. Jonathan Valdez and Assistant Principal, Mrs. Tracy Moss. Our group verse is 1 Timothy 4:12, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in faith and in purity.” The purposeof this organization is tohelp develop elementary students into future leaders. We feel the best way to learn how to lead is through serving (2 Corinthians 4). These students are given opportunities to serve their fellow students as well as the local and global community. Service projects for the year include serving at weekly Lower School Chapels, raising and lowering the outside flags, coordinating the shoebox drive for New Missions in Haiti, helping stock the food pantry at Oak Grove Elementary School, promoting and organizing the Carnation SaleDay in February, serving grandparents at Grandparents Day, and helping fill the urgent food needs at Hope Children’s Home. These students are getting the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus by interacting directly with the children and organizations they are serving and personally delivering food items and spending time with children in need.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far out weighs them all.
Leading in Middle School – THE HOUSE COUNCIL
Middle school’s House Council serves as the leadership group for the seventh and eighth grade students. Comprised of eighth-grade students, this group assists in planning all middle school activities, such as Homecoming week, semester parties, 6th grade move up, and others. Students do not run for a position on House Council, so this is not a popularity contest. The council is selected by the middle school faculty. While the teachers do care about the classroom diligence and effort of the candidates, grades are not a deciding factor in selecting students for the council. Character, kindness, willingness to serve, and leadership potential are the traits evaluated.
