Lone Star Leadership Academy

Donation protected
My name is Calista Kahklen, and I am currently a 4th grader at Thomas Haley Elementary School.

I am very active in school and community activities including honor choir, step team and soccer. 

My overall grade average is 3.7. I have the opportunity to take part in the Lone Star Leadership Academy, a program for students demonstrating academic excellence and leadership ability. 

 As a participant in this weeklong program, I will join a delegation of other distinguished students and travel to the Dallas Fort Worth area. As a delegate I will develop leadership skills while learning about future career and internship opportunities, visiting historically, politically, and environmentally significant sites, and participating in a rare academic experience. 

 In order to participate in this unique, educational program I need to raise an application fee of $943. This cost includes four nights lodging, all meals during the program, entrance fees, and charter bus transportation during the program, one Facilitator (all educators) for every ten students, and all curriculum materials. I am asking you and others representing community organizations to help me with this cost. 

 Participation in the Lone Star Leadership Academy is an invaluable experience. I will come away with a deeper appreciation of basic democratic values, and through simulations and group discussions I will develop my leadership skills in order to become a more knowledgeable and involved citizen. I will gratefully share with your organization the knowledge I gain through my participation by conducting a presentation of my experience. I will represent our community with dignity and make your organization proud. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. I would also be happy to meet with you at your convenience. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to offer. 

 To learn more about the Lone Star Leadership Academy, please feel free to visit www.educationinaction.org to watch an informational video including interviews with past participants and their parents, educators, and state legislators. You may also contact Education in Action directly at [phone redacted].
