In this episode of Tap Into Maple Run, we celebrate the power of student leadership and the role independence and perseverance play in helping students thrive. Hosts Bill and Megan highlight student voice in action, recognizing student council members, classroom leaders, and athletic captains who are making a difference across our schools.
Our guests, BFA English teacher MaryEllen Tourville and BFA sophomore Grace Vining, share insights on leadership, goal-setting, and perseverance, offering real-life examples of students stepping up and leading with confidence. Listeners will hear a lively Q&A exploring student experiences and lessons learned, as well as a community shout-out celebrating positive, student-led initiatives.
Wellness Tip: Movement fuels leadership! Even a short walk, stretch, or standing break between tasks can recharge focus, boost energy, and increase confidence, helping students (and adults!) tackle challenges with a clearer, more positive mindset.
