An Outline of the plans/activities for Collegiate's 8th Grader Leadership Team in the 2010-2011 School Year.

In addition to the following activities, students were empowered to become a more critical part of designing their 8th grade year. Students helped design and lead morning meetings, a girls school exchange day and their 8th grade trip to Washington, DC. They also built clubs and activities that better engaged students in activities that they love.
