The goal of the fifth grade leadership program is to provide a foundation that prepares our students for middle school. The program focuses on building confidence, understanding leadership from a perspective of positive influence, community involvement, teamwork, identifying and using personal gifts and abilities, character development, and developing positive peer relationships.

The leadership program begins the year with an overnight retreat which involves ropes courses, campfires, teambuilding, and building strong relationships.

As part of the leadership program, students are responsible for mentoring and encouraging a small group of younger elementary students. They are taught how to manage groups, plan, design, and implement projects as a leader.

Fifth graders are required to design, develop, and implement two service projects that focus on being a servant leader both to our local and global communities.

This year, the final project that the fifth grade leadership team has developed, organized and launched is a "Go Life Rally" to spread the message that every life is important, Jeremiah 1:5.
