3 Success Driven Stevens Students
I had the wonderful opportunity to meet with 3 students who are focused on the success of The Stevens Bond Vote passage. Emmy Craigue, Ryan Huse and Annah Sacksouvanh are students at Stevens High School and are part of a 7 student team under the guidance of social studies teacher David Hardy.
Every year, Stevens has at least one team participate in the statewide SESL (Social Entrepreneurial Student Leadership) This year, our team of 7 who attended the statewide project kickoff came back with an idea.
According to Mr. Hardy, our team (Amber Brooks, Kassi Hallock, Amela Palavric, Ryan Huse, Katie Lessar, Annah Sacksouvanh, and Emmy Craigue) wants to look at their plan as an intensified 4 week plan instead of a 10 week plan. They want to promote the SHS Revitalization Project, strategize how to do so, implement their strategy, be part of voting day, then do an exit poll on voting day March 9th to see if they can determine what kind of impact their campaign may have had.
For those not familiar with SESL, here’s a little background from the SESL website:
“We’re challenging you to think outside the box, dream big, and take action to make a difference. What’s the big issue in your backyard, in your community, in your world? Do you have an entrepreneurial idea of how to solve it?
SESL-NH is challenging high school and college/university teams to Think, Create, and Innovate! SESL’s 10 week challenge, open to high school teams of 8th-12th grade students or college teams at two- or four-year colleges/universities, kicks off in February each year”
All that said I wanted to congratulate the students who attended our outreach task force meeting and truly impressed out team. Not just with the enormity of what they wanted to take on but with their clear thoughts, professionalism and how much they care about Stevens High School!
If they are representative of Stevens students than Claremont has a bright future indeed! If you see students from the SESL challenge congratulate them and help them any way you can.
