WHAT IS THE UNITED NETWORK OF STUDENT LEADERS?
-A newly formed organization consisting of 2 student representatives from each of the 20 high schools* in ESO Network 6, who meet once a month at one of our high schools.
WHY DID WE START THIS?
· To address a need identified by the Coordinators’ of Student Activities and the Principals of our Network High Schools;
· To provide the students of ESO Network 6 with a voice in the organization, goals, structure, and work of our network;
· To provide a forum for student communication among themselves and with their schools’ administration and the adult leadership of our network;
· To develop inter-school activities, projects and resources;
· To develop leadership skills in our students and provide them with a more global forum to apply these skills;
· To assist students in the development of individual and collective perspectives within the context of their own educational experiences.

Midwood is Having a charity Talent Show. The charity the kids in charge chose was St. Judes Children Hospital.
ReplyDeleteBecause midwood will already be making money from the talent show and it is going to a charity we all know and trust I think it would be a great one for the UNSL.
