Five members of the El Dorado High School Kansas Association of Youth (KAY) Club attended the Area 6 KAY Regional Conference on November 10 at Ark City High School. Maddie Busby was elected as the KAY Area 6 President during the conference.
The club received the Gold Award, recognizing their student leadership and service to their school, community, nation, and world for the 2022-2023 school year.
"EHS KAY earned their 25th gold award since I came to EHS in 1997-98," EHS KAY Sponsor Heather Fangmann said. "I am fortunate to work with the best kids!"
KAY is a character-building, leadership training program directed by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. This nationally acclaimed organization provides students an opportunity to learn to assume their citizenship responsibilities and to enrich their personalities through well organized programs. These programs emphasize four areas of service: school, community, nation, and world.
The theme for the 2023 Regional Conference was “Leadership Roundup!” This conference affords opportunities for student leaders and sponsors from neighboring clubs to share successes and challenges, as well as exchange ideas. Sessions in leadership training and organizational skills are also offered. These conferences inspire delegates to return to their clubs to challenge their local members.
EHS KAY members attending the Regional Conference were: Maddie Busby, Tobias Sommerville, Keylee Faudere, Chance Fields, and Kayden Cooper. KAY Sponsor Heather Fangmann accompanied the group.
