What a fun week it’s been for our third, fourth and fifth grade students at Tony Goetz Elementary during this year’s Tony Goetz Leadership Academy!

This year’s Survivor theme made for an unforgettable leadership experience, with a visit from Dr. Scout Cloud Lee, a former contestant on CBS’s Survivor!

Dr. Scout shared her experience on the show, the challenges she faced and what she learned along the way. Students also had the opportunity to ask her questions about what it was really like to compete on Survivor and hear firsthand about her time on the show.

The fun continued with a full day of activities, where students worked together, tackled challenges and put their leadership skills into action through teamwork and problem-solving.

We’re so proud of these young leaders and all they brought to this year’s TGLA! 💚
