GRAND ISLAND —
What does a Slinky have in common with leadership?
Should students be able to chew gum in school?
Those were some of the questions that Barr Middle School students
struggled with Monday morning during a leadership class taught by Barr
alumnae Sara Robbins, Courtney Cahoy, Audie Aguilar and Samantha
Mitchell.
Specific answers to those questions were not as important as getting
the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students to think about what it
takes to be a leader.
Shanie Bockmann, executive of Leadership Tomorrow and Youth Leadership
Tomorrow, also was on hand to lend help when needed in the class, which
lasted about two and a half hours.
In addition to being Barr alumnae, Robbins, Cahoy, Aguilar and Mitchell
are all graduates of the Youth Leadership Tomorrow program.
Bockmann said high school students take the Youth Leadership Tomorrow
class as sophomores, which gives them all of their junior and senior
years in high school to demonstrate some of the leadership skills they
have learned.
