Two Students Participate in Summer Lone Star Leadership Academy
- Updated: September 18, 2015
Two Los Fresnos CISD students were among 952 outstanding students in Grades 4-8 at the Education in Action Summer Lone Star Leadership Academy Camps.
The young leaders were chosen for the camps based on demonstrated academic success and leadership ability, an educator recommendation, and participation in school and community activities.
Tucker Wilson, a fifth grade student at Laureles Elementary, participated in a camp in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with students in fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
Jonathan Grimaldo, a sixth grade student at Los Cuates Middle School, participated in a program in the Houston/Galveston with students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
During the week-long, overnight camps, students developed leadership skills while learning about Texas. Participants experienced what they are learning in school through visits to environmentally significant sites about history, politics, science and the environment.
