TGMS After School Leadership Presentation
WHEN: FEBRUARY 2, AND APRIL 4, 2023
Afterschool: 3:35 – 4:15 pm
Guest Speaker: Mr. Ron Derry
Mr. Ron Derry is a former teacher and coach with both the Hamilton Local Schools and Watkins Memorial High School in Central Ohio. After going blind in 1995 due to retinopathy, Ron decided not to give up on his passion for helping young people grow into happy, productive citizens. In spite of his blindness, Ron founded the G.O.O.D. Program, and each school year he shares his message of perseverance in the face of adversity and commitment to hard work with thousands of children across the state.
Mr. Derry will speak about leadership qualities and overcoming challenges!
The seven GOOD Leadership Qualities discussed in the assembly are:
1. Have a GREAT attitude - Be positive, optimistic, and upbeat
2. Be humble and show humility
3. Surround yourself with good people chosen for the right reasons - character
4. Be service oriented - help others
