In all the dog drama, a very important event--or shall I say achievement?--got overlooked. Each year, the city of Germantown selects 24 8th grade students from area middle schools to take part in the MOVERS program, a program designed to take current 8th grade leaders and foster their development as leaders in the next phase of their life.
The program includes many exciting events like a four-course fancy meal followed by a concert at Germantown Centre to teach fine dining and concert ettiquette; full high school tours by the principal; behind the scenes looks at area hospitals, the police station, etc.; and a ropes course to build teamwork and risk taking.
They treat the kids SO well, and it really is an amazing opportunity. Samantha has asked to write a guest blog about her MOVERS experience so far, so that will be posted soon.
