NHS Freshmen attend Fox Cities Teen Symposium
< Back
Twenty Neenah High School freshmen took part in the annual Fox Cities Teen Symposium on Feb. 4 at the Radisson Paper Valley in Appleton.
The students learned skills about building advocacy, teamwork, and leadership skills, while developing positive values and volunteer opportunities. The event was coordinated by the United Way Fox Cities Youth Board and the YMCA of the Fox Cities. The theme was “YOUth be the Change.” No fees are charged to the students or the schools for participating and each school was limited to 20 freshman students.
The Neenah students were selected by upperclass students from their Freshman Seminar classes. They were accompanied by teacher Brian Borchardt, guidance counselor Marcy Bauman and Associate Principal Bill Richardson.
Students spent the day doing leadership activities, hearing from motivational speakers and learning about potential service projects. A resource fair also highlighted volunteer opportunities throughout the Fox Valley.
