R.S.V.P.

Last weekend, 24 members from the A&M Consolidated student council attended the Raising Student Voice and Participation seminar. The RSVP programs serves as a training for students to become more engaged in school policies and events, in hope to implement positive change. Through various activities, we acquired the skills necessary to properly propose ides of school improvement and also communicate successfully with adults. Our instructor, Terry Hamm, showed us the importance of every individuals voice and participation, and suggested a specific procedure of summits that could produce the most effective results for school reform. Not only did we expand our knowledge of leadership skills, but more importantly we discovered a way in which we could include each and every member of our student body to personalize our school experience. This program is endorsed by the National Association of Student Councils and all schools are encouraged to participate.
