Byron's Babbles

Unlocking The Secret Leadership In Students

Back in February I had the opportunity to be in Langford, South Dakota for National FFA Week. The Langford Area School District FFA Officers had the great idea to provide leadership workshop sessions designed for every grade level in the school. I wrote about this experience in Being Kind. It was such an inspiring experience and the students were so engaged and wonderful. I loved this quote from FFA advisor AnnaMarie Sachs:

“He [Byron] can unlock the secret leadership in students that they might not realize is there,” Sachs said. “That’s important because we live in a small community and our kids need to be leaders. He can give them skills they can take home and make use of long after today.”

That quote was caught by Bridget Shileny, Editor of The Marshall County Journal who was there that day and took some incredible photos and captured the day perfectly in an outstanding article. I am humbled by her kind comments and wanted to share her article with you. Here is her article:
