One of the newest member resources MASC/MAHS Michigan Student Leadership offers to its advisers is the monthly Adviser Checklists. Each month members will receive helpful hints and reminders that are calendar specific. Many helpful hints span multiple months, which is why we post all checklists to the website and can be found here. If you are not receiving the lists, let me know!

To flood is a gift. It is to bring life where a desert exists. Flooding is giving one’s passion definition; a purpose. That purpose is the vessel for human kindness. That kindness is a sea of change, which can fill the emptiness of despair. To flood is to give of oneself; to inspire passion and purpose in others. We flood because it is natural as well as needed. We welcome the raindrops to bring new life to people, to inspire change and create movement. Prepare for rain! TJ Ducket reborn and rewired

As the days cool and the football games begin, it’s clear to see we have entered a new school year. With that comes many new opportunities for student leaders to come together and work together on leadership skills. As always, the state conference will be held in March of 2015 at the Grand Traverse Resort. Springport and Ovid-Elsie High Schools have been working extremely hard to make this conference the best one yet! We will take a dive into the rich history of our beloved state and the wonderful people it encompases. During the Pure Leadership conference students will also have the opportunity to learn the five Lakes of Leadership. These five traits, which include honesty, optimism, motivation, energy, and selflessness, will help students become the very best leaders that Michigan has to offer. We look forward to seeing everyone there, and keep your eyes on the calendar for the first round of registration, because we don’t want anyone missing out on this great conference!

So without further ado, here are my ideas on how to get the most out of your council kids. Read more here!
