Summary
Students from Village Elementary's Eagle Leaders presented projects tied to Capturing Kids' Hearts, described a student-planned parade float and a 'free little library,' and led the board through a short empowerment activity.
Village Elementary School students known as the Eagle Leaders presented to the Emporia Board of Education on their student-empowerment work and service projects.
Lucille, a student presenter, led the board in an interactive yes-or-no activity using green and red 'eagle' cards and said, "I feel empowered when I have enough background information to make confident decisions." Students described classroom activities including a 'World Changers' stream day that showcased inventions such as rockets and airbags and said they had led a parent-night demonstration of experiments.
Students outlined monthly service projects tied to character traits, including a project to weave waterproof mats for a homeless shelter and plans to create a free little library cabinet on school grounds. When asked who would build the library, students said they would handle the decorating and construction; they also confirmed their parade float budget is $75.
The students closed their presentation by leading the board and audience in the school's launch chant. Board members thanked the group, and teacher-coach Chelsea Evans was recognized as the Eagle Leaders coordinator.
The presentation was for information; no board action was taken during the student remarks.
