Project Pride at Lourdes Academy in Oshkosh
PROJECT PRIDE is a leadership project being conducted by a group of high school students at Lourdes Academy as part of a leadership class called “Tomorrow’s Leaders.” Project Pride involves transforming 544 lockers in the school from gray to bright RED to match school colors as a showing of spirit and pride. The painting will be done professionally; however, Tomorrow’s Leaders will use their leadership skills to raise the money to fund the project by presenting the project to local business owners, individuals or organizations who have an interest in supporting and investing in young adults as they learn how to become effective leaders. In addition, the students will roll up their sleeves this summer to prep the lockers for painting by washing and sanding them. Attorney Julie Maslowski, who is teaching the class and steering the project explains “It is my hope that PROJECT PRIDE will teach the kids how to come up with an idea, develop a plan, and implement the detailed tasks necessary to see a project through from inception to completion. Moreover, it will require the kids to confidently and clearly communicate their project to professional people in a formal business or boardroom setting. Beyond that, it is my greatest hope that PROJECT PRIDE will allow the kids to experience the “ripple effect” of positive and effective leadership. If you are interested in supporting this project, please contact Attorney Maslowski at jmm@ymlawoshkosh.com or 920.651.1820.
