Leading in Upper School - STUDENT PROGRAMS
Mrs. Gibson andMr. Campbell encourage students to leadwithin our high school program. They love when students like Gracie Lightbody approach them to share their vision for a new club or organization. Gracie is currently working with Mrs. Gibson to organize a new chapter of FCA for our middle and high school programs. Last year, a group of students approached Mr. Campbell about creating a club to celebrate diversity, and, as a result, the Cultural HeritageCommitteewas launched. The committeeproducedmaterials to educate and celebrate Hispanic Heritage, Black History, Women’s History, and Asian Culture. They also organized several successful events that the Upper School community enjoyed. This year, this committee has been absorbed by the High School Student Council leadership. Leadership continues to be cultivated among the student body through various organizations that seek to develop leadership skills and to serve locally, globally and right here on our campus. • SLi • SLi, Food Service Campus Connection • FLBL (Future Lancer Business Leaders) • Student Council • Professional Panels during advisory • GRACE Council SLi Now nearly 70 students strong, SLi is easily the largest leadership group on campus. Their main focus is threefold: • Train students in servant leadership. • Provide opportunities to apply training. • Unpack all perspectives of current cultural controversial topics. SLI CAMPUS CONNECTION - FOOD SERVICE The SLi Campus Connection of Food Service is celebrating its third year at Cambridge. Since 2017, this campus connection has continued to evolve and gain momentum. It originated with the focus of raising funds through student-led organized lunches for the purpose of investing the profits into school projects that would enhance the US campus. After the first year, the group raised enough funds to make improvements in the boys’ bathroom, girls’ and boys’ locker rooms, and install water spigots into thewater fountains to fill water bottles. They have also generated enough funds to purchase a large water cooler to use during lunches and two outside fans which were installed on the junior and senior decks. Each of these projects wasmanaged by the Food Service Student Leadership. The students organize all aspects of each lunch as well as the projects they determine to support. This year they have set the goal of coordinatingmonthly lunches, and they are currently working on determining their campus enhancement projects. These student leaders are learning how to execute plans and services, as well as identify areas of need that are within their reach to impact. They are dedicated and very entrepreneurial in spirit. FLBL (FUTURE LANCER BUSINESS LEADERS) This newclub emerged out of creative conversations betweenMrs. Gibson and alumni Justin Salemy which stemmed from his participation in our US ccslancers.com Spring 2020 - Connections | 7
