    A.L. Lotts Student Leadership Team

    Developing the Leaders of Today and Tomorrow

    The Student Leadership Team is comprised of 5th grade students who have been selected through an application process.

    Student Leadership Expectations 

    • Maintain a high level of excellence in academics (C average), behavior (A average), work habits (A average), and attendance.
    • Be respectful! Be responsible! Be remarkable!
    • Maintain a positive attitude.

    The Student Leadership Team will:

    • Represent Lotts’ student body;
    • Help with morning and dismissal responsibilities;
    • Organize, promote, and implement service-learning projects;
    • Learn and utilize leadership skills, which support the school community.
    Service Learning

    Service learning creates a two-way bridge of interaction and shared purpose, resulting in better schools, stronger communities, and improved student learning. There may be service-learning projects scheduled outside of the school day hours. Students will not be penalized for not attending these service initiatives, but are encouraged to attend to benefit fully from the Student Leadership program. Dates and times for service learning opportunities are TBA. Some possible service learning projects include:

    • Charity Drive Initiatives (Second Harvest, Holiday Baskets, etc.)
    • Recycling Initiatives
    • Grounds Upkeep
    • Other
