A few students from the leadership team at Fieldbrook Elementary School stopped by the KHUM studios today to chat with DJ Toby Tullis about some of the exciting projects they’ve worked on this semester. The leadership team, led by seventh and eighth graders, provides a platform for students to share ideas and collaborate on initiatives that “improve attendance, promote joy, and build community” within the school district.

“I think this is a great way for students to be a part of changing the school and having an opinion for the school, because without this, it would just be adults,” said Maya, one of the team leaders. “They’re great and they do amazing things, but they also don’t necessarily get into the minds of the students. Having students represent … is a great way to get their opinions out there.”

A few years ago, the leadership team launched a “warm fuzzies” initiative — gifting one another colorful pom-poms with glued-on googly eyes — to spread kindness and strengthen connections among classmates. The team was kind enough to gift fuzzies to the Outpost and our radio colleagues.
