Forsyth Hosts Student Council District Meeting, Strengthens Community
Article written by Harper Icopini
On March 2, student council members from Miles City, Rosebud, and Forsyth gathered at the Forsyth High School for the annual District 6 student council meeting. Throughout the day, attendees grew their leadership skills, participated in workshops, and elected new district officers.
To start out the day, keynote speaker Jennifer Anderson helped members develop their leadership skills through an engaging presentation and interactive activities. Attendees came away better informed and equipped to be positive leaders in their communities.
Forsyth student council members led workshops throughout the day. Karrissa Fraker, Morgan Icopini, Ryleigh Seleg, and Malia Neuman led a Shark Tank-inspired workshop where members came up with innovative ideas to improve life in their community. Preston McGregor and Sheldon Reilly hosted a trivia workshop where participants tested their knowledge of their towns and the student council. Harper Icopini led a service workshop. Members made birthday cake kits for the food pantry in Forsyth.
The birthday cake workshop was truly a community endeavor. Prior to the conference, the student council ran a food drive to raise supplies for the event. In just a week, elementary and high school students in Forsyth donated enough cake mix, frosting, Sprite, disposable pans, and candles for 40 birthday kits!
Yvonne Mogul provided a delicious lunch of spaghetti, breadsticks, and salad for conference attendees. In the afternoon, district student council president, Brookelyn, led the annual business meeting. Members elected new district officers and proposed resolutions for the state student council meeting next November.
At the end of the day, attendees left the conference with valuable experience and new ideas to take back to their schools.
