How are Shiloh's Leaders Making a Difference?

The Shiloh Leadership Club will begin it's second year this 2008-09 school year. This year about 25 dedicated students have chosen to participate in the club and have worked very hard to help others in their community.  For the past several weeks Shiloh's leaders have been working on developing and implementing community service projects both at Shiloh and within the city of Parma.  After several brainstorming sessions they are planning to accomplish several of these challenges before the end of this school year. 

The club's main focus is on helping and giving back to the greater Parma community.  Shiloh's Leaders have begun a Peer Tutoring & Mentoring Program to help elementary students at State Road School experience academic success and enhanced social skills. 

Leadership club is also currently planning functions in local nursing homes and hospices designed to help those in need. Although the Shiloh Leadership Club did not recieve grant funding this year, the students have taken on the challenge of funding these programs by conducting bake sales. Shiloh Leadership Club is also planning on jumping into the political area by actively participating in the Parma City Schools Levy Campaign whose outcome will effect the lives of every citizen in Parma.

What are the Goals of the Shiloh Leadership Club?

There are many goals of the program, but to sum it up, we want students to learn specific knowledge and skills related to leadership, and have the opportunity to learn about the relationship between school  and citizenship not only in the classroom, but within the community as well. Lastly, we want students at Shiloh to recognize their leadership qualities and potential and develop skills to take responsibility of choices.

Some of the projects that the students worked on last year (2008) were:  A students  vs. teachers basketball game where money raised was donated to the Relay for Life, a food drive for families within our community, made cards for the elderly and sick, and a talent and fashion show.
