Today, 16 of our student athletes were nominated and selected to attend the 3rd Annual TRC Leadership Conference! 2 boys and 2 girls from each class (8th - 11th) attended the annual leadership development day with all 8 TRC schools to learn about, discuss and develop their leadership skills! We have had quite a few great attendees in the past couple years and this group was just as outstanding! Bethel Athletic programs are in great hands with these young leaders who are invested in the growth of not just the programs they participate in, but our department as a whole, for the benefit and growth of their peers! They came away with 5 core values they would like to help develop over the next school year: 🐝 Commitment 🐝 Accountability 🐝 Perseverance 🐝 Growth 🐝 Community Lead in and lead up, Bees! #stingersup 🐝
