One thing that makes Southwood Glen special is our student leadership. Lion Leadership, a leadership group open to 4th and 5th grade students, is a great example of Southwood Glen student leadership. Pictured below is a group of fourth graders who gave up their lunch and recess last to attend their first Lion Leadership meeting. In their first meeting they learned about the responsibilities of being a school leader and what Lion Leadership entails. We are grateful to have such a positive group of students eager to continue this tradition of student leadership.
Yours in education,
