BGS student, Savanah Campbell was chosen to participate in R.Y.L.A (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards). May 9 - 12th, she traveled to Deer Valley Meadows in Alix where she participated in an intensive leadership program organized by Rotary Clubs. Here young people can develop leadership skills while having fun and making connections with peers.
The Innisfail Rotary Club sponsored Savanah to attend this extraordinary learning opportunity. While at R.Y.L.A, she was engaged in a variety of leadership sessions such as Ice Breakers, Making a Leader, Whales and Penguins. She also participated in an activity about things that hold us back and how to break those barriers. She attended a dance, group activities and completed a “take charge” workshop. Savanah added that she would definitely suggest R.Y.L.A for someone to attend, it has changed my outlook on life and the views on people around me. I made many new friends that I will never forget and we all still talk with each other.
Savanah, along with the other BGS students that have participated in various Rotary activities, have been invited to attend a meeting with the Club on June 6th. They will present their experiences to the members. Thank you to the I.R.C. for their ongoing support of our students here at BGS.
