Dakota County 4-H Youth Teaching Youth Leadership Opportunities - ADDED ANOTHER TRAINING!
Youth Teaching Youth is a cross-age teaching program open to all grades at LNHS. It's a great way to develop your leadership skills, acquire volunteer hours, and you can participate with friends! If you went to Lakeville in 4th grade, you might remember this program. A group of high schoolers, wearing colorful tie-dye t-shirts, visited your 4th-grade classroom and taught lessons about alcohol, tobacco, and peer pressure. Now it's your turn to lead that program!
We are looking for students (grades 9-12) interested in visiting 4th-grade classrooms and teaching lessons around making healthy choices. The time commitment for 4th grade is 3 hours of teaching (total), during the school day, over the course of 3 weeks. Classroom visits happen throughout the school year. You teach with other teens and can sign up with your friends. You will be excused from class with your parent/guardian signing the provided permission slip. You will be responsible for making up any work missed during that time.
These programs are easy to teach! All materials are provided and there are training sessions scheduled for after school on Tuesday, Dec. 12 in the community room (D-204). We will begin promptly after school and will conclude by 5 p.m. Teen volunteers must attend training prior to the classroom visit. New teens sign up here to attend the training. If you are a returning teen, sign up here. Any questions, contact Rachel at reza0027@umn.edu.
Lakeville South Girls' Basketball Equipment Drive: The Lakeville South Girls' Basketball program is collecting used sporting equipment that families no longer need. We will in turn look to donate this equipment to families in and around our school community in need.
Donations can be shared at the Girls’ Basketball game on Friday, December 15th. Or you can drop off items in Paul Schmidtke's classroom. Contact Angie Schmidtke if you have any questions or apparel you would like to donate: aschmidtke@isd191.org 952-891-1258.
