Members of the Olympia High School student council attended the Cenois District Workshop last Friday, April 10^th, with three other local high schools where they participated in team building activities.

“The purpose of the trip was for students to gain leadership skills, and network with other student council and to elect the new Cenois District of Student Council board,” said OHS Science Teacher and Student Council Co-Advisor Brandi Cooper.

At the conference, students participated in team building activities. The purpose of these activities is for students to get to know each other and think about leadership on the Student Council.

“I thought that they brought the four schools together to work together as a team” said senior Julia Griffith.

While on the trip, the students heard a guest speaker Congressman Andy Manar, from the 48^th district. Congressman Manar talked about the legislative process and answered questions the students had about the state legislator.

Besides hearing Manar speak, they also participated in a business meeting to make decisions about the Cenois District. Also, they elected the new Cenois District of Student Councils board.

“Students said they had fun and they liked networking with other student councils,” said Cooper. Other members would agree with this statement.

This trip was a positive experience for everyone and they look forward to next year.
