LISBON — Students enrolled in the Jobs for Maine Graduates programs at Philip W. Sugg and Lisbon High School recently attended the Leadership Education Conference supported by JMG.
Students were chosen on the merits of overall positive attitude and for being in leadership roles within JMG, their school and the community throughout this upcoming school year to attend the conference, said Jessica Porter, JMG specialist for the Lisbon schools.
The students participated in several goal-oriented activities with Porter. Students participated in workshops in the “Eggscellent” Business Challenge, a brainstorming session and a professional networking roundtable.
The workshop exercises required cooperation, flexibility, adaptability and accountability. Students walked away from the event with the skills needed to become leaders in their JMG Career Association while developing a strong group dynamic.
Lisbon High School students attending were DJ Matthews, Noah Watts, JD Martin-Williams, Case Houde, Taylor Martin, Nick Bergeron, Damara Chesley and Destiny Pagan. Philip W. Sugg Middle School students attending were Riley Leeman, Grace Tibbetts, Christa Wilcox, Sierra Moore, Jayde Littlefield and Ethan Roberts.
An initiation and installation ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, at Lisbon High School, 2 Sugg Drive, to swear in students elected by their peers to serve as officers.
