GOOD NEWS!

Crossroads Leadership has been selected as the 2012 MAEO Outstanding Program Component.  On April 26th Brian O'Hara attended the Michigan Alternative Education Association awards dinner in Bay City.  He was there to accept the award for "Leadership Program of the Year" for the State of Michigan in Alternative Education.  This award was a reflection of all the staff at Crossroads but especially of our leadership teacher Janet Sall and all the kids in her leadership class.  Congratulations Crossroads!

Congratulations to the MAEO STARS newly elected co-chairs: Nathan Anderson and Morgan Scott & to newly elected secretary: Zac Wildfong & newly elected regional representative: Leontay Hayes. These students delivered amazing speeches highlighting their positive experiences at Crossroads, participation in service projects, and desire to serve on the MAEO STARS Student Leadership Board.

In the past each school was only able to have two students run for board positions - this year they allowed each school to permit all interested students to compete for the limited STARS Leadership positions. For the State of Michigan there are 2 co-chairs, 5 regional representatives, and 1 secretary position.

Way to go!!!

Service-Learning Youth Council

Leadership students Nathan Anderson, Leontay Hayes, Morgan Scott, and Marquel Shannon applied and were chosen to serve on the MCSC’s (Michigan Community Service Council) Service-Learning Youth Council.  These students will be trained to create compelling stories in support of service-learning and mobilize their peers to serve their communities. Throughout the year they will use these stories to document, promote, and educate others about youth service and service-learning.  The picture below are the Crossroads Leadership students who were chosen to serve.
