Mac just finished participating in a 10 week program called Leadership Dublin: the Next Generation. This is a program The mission of Leadership Dublin's youth program is to prepapre the next generation of leaders for effective community involvement and to empower them with good decision making skills and leadership potential.
The 6th and 7th graders participated in leadership classes that included: team- building, making positive choices, communication, self defense, peer mediation, an environmental project, peer mediation, among others, and several community service projects.
It was such an amazing experience for Mac to have. He didn;t enjoy the "idea"of going every Sunday (probably because it reminded him of the whole school "thing" but once he was there he had a great time. There were 25 6th and 7th graders in the program and 8 of them were from St. Brigid!
These are photos from the graduation ceremony December 6th.
