In celebration of “Character Day,” on Thursday, Oct. 29, several “characters” from Madison County High School (MCHS) took the opportunity to read to younger students at Madison County Central School (MCCS), with several of them dressing up as characters from the books they were reading. Ten students from the MCHS Student Ambassadors shared stories and served as leadership examples for the younger students.
The MCHS Student Ambassadors is a new group of students chosen to represent MCHS, based on their leadership qualities, as well as their ability to make a positive impact on the school and in the community. “The group’s purpose is to serve as a positive face of the school and provide students with opportunities to grow as leaders,” said MCHS Principal and faculty sponsor Peggy Hasty. “As the MCHS Student Ambassadors continue to grow, they may have opportunities to welcome visitors, lead school tours, assist with school and family events, and help new students feel at home. Ambassadors can also represent MCHS at community activities, support younger students and contribute to service and school spirit projects. These experiences allow students to build leadership skills while strengthening connections between the school and community.”
Other activities of the MCHS Student Ambassadors include greeting parents during the recent Title I Family College Night and participating in the MCHS Veterans Day program.
