For those of you that don’t know, our Adrianne Selvidge just completed the Leadership Edmond program through the Edmond Chamber. Adrianne was voted Leadership Edmond Class XXVII MVP by her peers. At the start of the nine month program the class was tasked with coming up with a Legacy project that would both make an impact and have a lasting impression on the community. Adrianne took the reigns on the project and worked with the Edmond school system to create a special day for students at Sunset Elementary.
The school has a large population and very little parental participation so the school doesn’t host Super Kids Days or Field Days like most of the other Edmond public schools. Based on this news the class decided they could supply the volunteers and supplies to host a Sunset Seahawk Celebration on April 26. All of the students in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade class were able to Zumba, sack race and jump rope along with several other fun activities.
As part of the Legacy project coordinated by Adrianne, two Physical Education teachers at Sunset Elementary were able to receive more than $700 worth of wish list items for the students including new balls, games and etc, thanks to Acts 2 United Methodist Church. And finally, Leadership Edmond Class XXVII has already pledged a donation of $3,000 to the Edmond Public Schools Foundation and that number continues to grow every day and we are extending a challenge to all Leadership Edmond alumni to also donate to continue our push to equip ALL Edmond schools with the items and funds they need to prepare tomorrow’s leaders.
