Our speakers were our Buffalo Rotary sponsored students to RYLA, [Rotary Youth Leadership Awards] which is held each April in Hudson, Wisconsin. This year we sent BHS Juniors Delaney Elton and Troy Giddings. They both shared their experiences at camp RYLA and a little about what they learned.
Activities were centered around team building, creative problem solving, critical thinking and time management. Delaney stated that one activity she found challenging was working with other students she just met. She learned that projects need leaders and followers. Both Delaney and Troy felt they gained valuable knowledge understanding their personality and how to work with others based on the different personalities. The motivational speaker John Crudele was a highlight of the weekend. RYLA works to build well rounded citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
Thank you Chelsie for inviting our RYLA students. Thank you to Scott Thieilman for helping coordinate the selection and details of the RYLA students.
Have an awesome week and Go ‘Connect the World’!
