Junior Academy Leadership Opportunities

Leadership Crew

Leadership Crew is an extensive program for grades 5-8. Students may sign up to take one or more responsibilities around the school. Each responsibility has a crew and a LOL (Leader of Leaders).

Crews include ; Morning Duty (greeting and helping younger students into school), Milk Crew (delivering daily milk), Kindergarten Crew (Eat lunch and Help Kindergartens get ready for recess) Junior Playground Duty (helping younger students play cooperatively on the junior playground), AV Crew (weekly assembly AV set up as well as concert and event support).
