ARMA — Four members of the Marmaton Valley High School KAY Club attended the Area 2 KAY Regional Conference hosted by Northeast High School Nov. 1.
The Marmaton Valley club earned the Gold Award, recognizing their student leadership and service to their school, community, nation and world for the 2022-2023 school year.
Kansas Association for Youth (KAY) is a character-building, leadership training program directed by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. The organization provides students an opportunity to learn citizenship responsibilities and to enrich their personalities through well organized programs.
Programs emphasize four areas of service: school, community, nation and world.
The theme for the 2023 Regional Conference was “Leadership Roundup.” This conference affords opportunities for student leaders and sponsors from neighboring clubs to share successes and challenges, as well as exchange ideas.
Sessions in leadership training and organizational skills are also offered.
These conferences inspire delegates to return to their clubs to challenge their local members. Local KAY members attending the conference were: President Payton Scharff, Vice President Janae Granere, Secretary/Treasurer Brooklyn Adams and Service Director Brevyn Campbell.
The students were accompanied by sponsor Kelci Botts.
