Training To Be

A Leader Of Tomorrow

Alexa Vacaro and Mike Nastri recently completed Newtown Rotary’s Youth Leadership Awards weekend training session with more than 40 outstanding students from high schools around Connecticut. Topics included time management, self-esteem, problem solving, and other subjects not typically covered in academic curriculum but still essential to daily life. The students had to be nominated by teachers in one of their academic departments; selections were based not necessarily on academic merit but on their potential leadership abilities.
