More than 60 LCHS students planned the day under the direction of leadership teacher Dwayne Jeffery, who said the event builds teamwork among high school students while helping Grade 6 students transition into their new school.
“We use this as a team builder for my leadership team,” said Jeffery. “We plan activities and run them, but the goal is also to get the Grade 6s comfortable in their new school environment.
“What’s cool about it today is every kid will lead,” said Jeffery. “That’s what today is about.”

Participation was originally for Grade 7 students, however, a realignment of grades now means Grade 6s’ participating instead.
