Students showcase leadership and public‑speaking at John Marshall Leadership Day
Summary
Students at John Marshall described Leadership Day as a chance to practice public speaking, lead activities and demonstrate teamwork; staff and board members praised the turnout and noted State Superintendent Dr. Underly attended. The board then moved on to its regular agenda.
Students and small groups kicked off the meeting with short presentations about Leadership Day, telling the board the event gives them “a chance to practice our speaking skills” and “show how we work together, solve problems, and encourage each other in our learning.”
A student presenter said, “Leadership day is when we practice and show off our leadership skills,” describing activities ranging from projects to leading the welcome assembly. Another student framed the day as an opportunity to build confidence and share classroom projects with the community.
School staff thanked the community for attending. A staff speaker said John Marshall had a strong turnout — 142 community members and families — and noted that State Superintendent Dr. Underly attended and engaged with students during the visit.
Board members praised the students’ articulation and composure. The committee then opened the meeting’s business agenda and moved to the five‑year fiscal forecast presentation.
