“These students are Springfield’s future leaders, thinkers and innovators,” said Superintendent Bob Hill. “We are very excited to see their ideas, creativity and problem-solving abilities come to life because of this partnership. This is their opportunity to have their voices heard and directly impact their community.”
Each club is awarded $2,000, through funding provided by The Springfield Foundation and The Crabill Family Foundation, and must create, plan and complete a project in the Springfield community related to beautification, safety or neighborhood improvement.
“The ability to build neighborhood leaders within our schools is a creative way to implement the district’s leadership development strategies as well as building a legacy for our future,” said Springfield Community Development Director Shannon Meadows. “The City of Springfield is growing in ways not seen for generations, and our city is proud to be a part of the development of our community’s leadership into the future. The Legacy Club partnership truly defines the motto, ‘Forward Together’.”
