Leading Today for a Better Tomorrow - Eight individual students who possess the leadership abilities and the insight necessary to make a better campus and community recently joined together to institute the Student Concerns Committee, or SCC.  This new organization was formulated by Anita Paukovits, executive vice president and implemented by Mike Miskevish, recreation director, as an avenue to connect the voices of the students with the ears of the administration.

The group members, Trey, Anthony, Tia, Destiny, Andrew, Shareef, Duquan, and Jose were chosen from each of the units to represent the student body based on their positive attitudes and exceptional leadership skills.  By joining the committee, they have pledged to get to know everyone on campus and to ensure that their voices are heard.  Their task to embody constructive deeds is exemplified in the committee’s mission statement: ‘A group of young adults dedicated to positive attitudes and positive change within ourselves and our environment’.

Though the SCC is a committee relatively new to the Children’s Home of Easton, these young members have already made a difference in many lives.  They executed the first annual Mike Litak Thanksgiving Day Meal celebration on November 15, which proved to be a huge success!  The entire campus was invited to the gym in an effort to bring everyone together to enjoy and commemorate what all there is to be thankful for.  While the administration served food to the guests, Shareef presented a wonderful speech titled, “What Thanksgiving Means to Me in the Children’s Home” and Duquan recited an enlightening prayer.

These dedicated young adults have an uncommon appreciation for the community around them, and have chosen to seek ways to give back to it.  They have taken on the responsibility of preparing and delivering meals for Safe Harbor on a regular basis, and are enjoying how gratuitous hard work can feel.
The committee is always looking for new ways to connect with the student body and community.  They are in the midst of planning a possible future Spring Fling and Talent Show.  Keep your eyes open for upcoming events that promise to be engaging and successful!

These students have taken the challenge of bettering themselves and the campus to new heights.  As promising young adults, they have chosen to give of themselves continuously to ensure that the students, the administration, and the surrounding community are all participants in their efforts to connect in a positive manner.
