Pinnacles Prep Scholar Leadership Camp | August 11-12
We want to invite you to a very special, fun, and challenging event: our first annual 2-day Scholar Leadership Camp this August 11-12, 2022.
This will be a unique opportunity for you to collaborate with about 20 fellow Pinnacles Prep scholars to learn valuable leadership skills for school, career, and life…and have a lot of fun doing it!
You will be working with Christopher Fontana of Full Circle Leadership who has been working with our teaching staff for both this past year and the upcoming year to teach them Democratic Classroom Leadership. We are holding this 2-day event because we believe in you, believe in your leadership potential, and are committed to have our scholars lead in the school alongside our adult staff.
It takes all of us to co-create a learning community centered on mutual respect, equity, and justice. Every scholar needs to feel a deep sense of belonging in our school, that they matter, and where they can contribute to the learning and well-being of all others. As we have learned through this pandemic, now more than ever, every student needs to re-connect to one another. We feel you have the potential to make a huge difference in this process this year.
Looking forward to it!
-Jill Fineis, Principal
