While most students were luxuriating in their
first day of spring break, 90 students from around Richmond gathered together
at the LEGOman conference. The leadership conference was wholly created by and
for students to grow leadership skills in youth in high schools throughout
city.
The March 16 conference saw a four-member
panel plus four workshops throughout the day with the theme of Building the
next Student Leaders, LEGOman was a resounding success.
The brain child of the Richmond Student
District Council Organization (RSDCO), a new, independent student-run group,
LEGOman 2018 had the support of teachers and staff throughout the district and
particularly at the host school, Matthew McNair Secondary, where staff members
also gave up a day of their holidays to attend and mentor the students.
"This is a big event for RSDCO,"
says RSDCO student chair Kishoore Ramanathan, "We've had our ups and downs
during planning, but the team is proud to be pushing through and hosting such
an important initiative for the younger students. [RSDCO believes] strongly in
providing opportunities for students to discover their own abilities and
passions, because as the saying goes: 'you'll never know until you try.'"
