Hammond Students Attend "Voices For Change" Youth Summit 2008!
  The second annual "Voices For Change" Youth Summit, was held Friday, April 11 in Howard County
at The Gathering Place. The goal of
the Youth Summit was to hear
young people's voices and empower youths in Howard County by
working with them to take action to improve varying issues. Derek Peterson, International Child and
Youth Advocate for the Institute for Community and Adolescent Resilience, spoke to over 200
students about the different issues
 
 
 
that teens encounter and took the lead in various activities designed to help students
learn how to encourage other teenagers who struggle with day-to-day issues that
youths face.

Of particular note was our students receiving vocal recognition from Mr. Peterson for
their professional attire, as the motivational speaker actually came off of the stage
during his introductory remarks to commend our students for how well-dressed they
were and to personally shake one of our student's hand while pointing out to the
audience of students and adult sponsors the appropriate way to dress for such an
event.

Representing Hammond HS at this all-day event were (pictured L to R): Nashon,
Nathaniel, Kings, Sam, Rachel, Lauren, Althea, Meg, Maya, and Zakia.
