Eighteen Valley Stream District 30 students were sworn into the Global Leaders of Tomorrow Advisory Council during the Board of Education Business meeting at Shaw Avenue Elementary School on
Oct. 28.
They promised to unlock their potential to become a Global Leader of Tomorrow, activate their self-determination and advocacy for themselves and others, become confident and courageous human beings, and navigate multiple pathways for future success, according to officials.
The Global Leaders of Tomorrow Advisory Council will meet regularly with Superintendent Roxanne Garcia-France to discuss how they can accomplish their goals and encourage other students in their respective schools to help in their efforts. This year, the advisory council will focus on the United Nations’ goal of wellness with the question, “What does wellness mean to you?”
“I am so excited because they help me to be a better leader,” Garcia-France said. “This is an opportunity for my Global Leaders of Tomorrow to get that experience, to know that it’s a great honor to serve not only your school, but your community. The real payment is when you serve and do good for others. That’s what it’s all about.”
