OLYMPIA HIGH SCHOOL
Monday,
September 21st, the Olympia FFA Introduction to Agriculture students
and chapter officer team went to Leadership Training School held at
Normal Community High School. LTS is a workshop lead by Section 9
officers including our own Molly Schempp who serves as the
Treasurer.
Students from all over the section were split into five groups
rotating through stations representing five core characteristics.
The Section 9 officers believed these traits were the most important
in building leadership skills: Collaboration, Trust, Knowledge,
Communication, and Relationships.
Each station had a game that focused on that specific
characteristic.
Olympia FFA members:
Molly Schempp, Dawson Banister, Josh Kindred, Karmen Glueck and
others work on a group project during LTS.
During
the trust station, one student from the group was asked to lay on a
mat while the rest of the group had to pick them up each using only
2 fingers.

Olympia FFA was well represented
at the Section 9 FFA Leadership Training School
This game helped the student laying down to trust that the rest
of the group would pick him/her up safely and set her down safely.
Olympia Chapter President, Karmen Glueck reflected on the event
saying, “I believe it was a great experience for our FFA members to attend LTS
because we learned about multiple communication activities that we can take back
to our chapter meetings. This will help a great deal since group communication
is key!”
Leadership Training School was an awesome chance to grow as a leader while
getting to know students from other schools.
