The Student Council Field Trip

Written by: Reagan Rothlisberger

The student council learned so many amazing things from great speakers on their field trip to the BYU Student Council Conference. They learned from Mr. Rad that student council members are student council members every day and to be kind with our words and actions. Mr. Brad Barton taught that less is more when it comes to ideas and one incredible thing is better than lots of mediocre things. Mr. Bytheway taught that everyone has a prize inside and it's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice. Also, we all should help people find their prize inside and then we will find our prize inside. Lastly, Meg Johnson taught that we can serve by smiling, complimenting, and inviting. Smiling before being happy is scientifically proven to make you and others happy. Her main thing was to help people feel their full worth and you will feel your full worth!

Today was "Pumpkin Day" at Maple Ridge! A big thank you to Harward Farms, and especially our very own Maddex and Kaison Wilson, for donating a pumpkin to each of our students! It's always a fun and exciting time when the pumpkins get delivered and we are so grateful to Harward Farms for making our October so festive.
