A lucky group of 13 students on Clarksville High’s student council had the amazing opportunity to attend this year’s two day Iowa Student Leadership Conference in Des Moines. The students interacted and exchanged ideas with students from other schools all over Iowa Sunday and Monday, October 28th and 29th.
Sunday night the young leaders were separated from their packs, so students had the opportunity to meet an entirely new group to share ideas and questions with. Students also enjoyed a large “dance party” Sunday night followed by a magician! At nine the students went back to the hotel to get a good night’s sleep for the next day! Students involved with the conference were given an 11 pm curfew set by the organization. Some of Clarksville’s students even ordered UberEats, a food delivery service.
Starting at nine in the morning, students gathered in the auditorium to watch the honor ceremonies for the advisors and honor councils. Soon after, the leaders had the opportunity to listen to a motivational speaker. Lastly, students migrated to three different forty-five minute sessions. In these sessions put on by other schools, students had the opportunity to learn about how other schools run fundraisers, raise money for schools, put on pep rallies and more! Overall, the students took a lot away from the conference.
