Kid’s Challenge
Kid's Challenge was recently held at Peiffer Elementary School in Jefferson County and Northridge Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Tawnya Rush, 9News and Colorado & Company personality kicked off the day by talking about leadership by the media and how to get involved in their community. Students learned social graces from etiquette expert Katherine Mason and self-presentation skills from the Tiffany Pelletier from the Dale Carnegie Institute. The keynote address was delivered by National Best Selling Author, Tommy Spaulding. Tommy talked to students about the importance of building and maintaining genuine relationships.
Students also heard how a little effort and focus can make a huge difference in peoples lives around the world from Jaimie Wagner representing the non-profit, Project Cure. Students also learned about Habitat for Humanity. They learned how to set goals by building a life story, pay it forward, be a leader, a follower and an observer. They also learned about future career options and how to manage time.
