Cold Lake

The Cold Lake High School CONNECTIONS students decided they wanted to bring awareness of culture and the power of words to grade 3 students at the nearby Elementary School. The. project, called "Building Bridges", required the CONNECTIONS students to find financial sponsorship, arrange for guest speakers, purchase and print T-shirts for all of the grade 3 students and staff, organize a pot-luck, multicultural lunch, and lead the students through a wide variety of activities during the day-long event. Teachers and students felt the day had had a positive impact on their school and the CONNECTIONS students felt that they had put into practice leadership skills that they had learned through the CONNECTIONS program.
