Lawndale Leadership Academy at state Capitol
By ginnymiller
JACKSON – Here’s an update to my
earlier post from Jackson, where I went on Wednesday with sixth-grade students in the Leadership Academy from Tupelo’s Lawndale Elementary. Thanks to Amy Tate of TVA for organizing the trip and to Leadership Academy facilitator Claudia Hopkins for inviting me to tag along. My mission was two-fold: I wanted to update the
Feb. 5 Daily Journal story I wrote about this amazing group of kids, but I also got to talk to Lee County’s legislators about the proposed Quality Education Act of 2008. In the previous blog entry I posted my own photos from the trip. I hope you’ll enjoy these from Leadership Academy participants Abbie Banko and Mathilda Lail.
