We really enjoyed working with Downieville High School Students last week. Every student rose to the occasion with Middle-Schoolers working alongside High-Schoolers to solve progressively more difficult challenges. At the conclusion of the day all the students had a clearer understanding of the role of leadership in solving problems and how they might work more effectively as a team. Respect, kindness and empathy played a major role in their growth and we are hopeful that the day will lay a foundation for the rest of the school year. There is no doubt that small rural school districts labor under an unusual set of challenges so we are always more than happy to travel and provide some special programming aimed at instilling gains in self-confidence, problem-solving, communication and leadership. Kudo’s go out to the Sierra County Health department and the Downieville teaching staff for hosting us again!
