Students from the Unity Club presented to the Polk County School Board about the club’s mission — cultural awareness, volunteer service and student leadership — and shared examples of recent activities including a talent show, Black History Month trivia and community donation drives.
Several students self‑identified during the presentation: Kiera Littlejohn (student), Curtis Simmons (vice president), Elias Haley (secretary), Christian Littlejohn (treasurer), Akila Cunningham (media) and Ashley Jackson (freshman).
