Building bridges among students

On Thursday, Sept. 29, 13 Poynette Middle School students attended Leadership Day at Expeditions Unlimited in Baraboo. There were students from seven other districts who also attended.

As a team, students problem solved physical challenges in the woods, which brought out lots of lessons about leadership. As students processed how the activity went, they pointed out lessons about how important it is to form a plan, and when that plan isn't working, how important it is to remain flexible, and change course. They also experienced encouraging each other, including each other, listening to each other, and not talking over each other.
