Four sophomores from Kingsford High School, from left, Josie Scott, Emma Allen, Katherine Erickson and Macy Edwards, have been nominated to attend the Michigan Youth Leadership conference at Michigan State University. Students attending this conference must be a sophomore and have positive character traits with demonstrated leadership potential. MYLead participants experience enhanced self-confidence, critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and a desire to serve others. Specific leadership tools are provided. Students step outside their comfort zone, take time to understand different leadership styles, learn ways to motivate others, as well as engage in goal setting, public speaking, and much more. A key ingredient to these outcomes is the opportunity to interact with peer leaders from across the state. Josie is the daughter of Dr. Brian and Michelle Scott; Emma is the daughter of Craig and Trina Allen; Katherine is the daughter of Anthony and Laddavone Erickson; and Macy is the daughter of Wade and Kristen Edwards.
