First Day of Summer Program, Children's Leadership Academy

Palo Alto College
Corporate & Community Education Division
Children's Leadership Academy

Today, June 17, 2013, marked the first day of the Children's Leadership Academy. The eager students were excited to see the famous San Antonio ventriloquist, Nacho Estrada. Many different life lessons were learned through the comedic Estrada and friends, "Mijo" and "Maclovio," such as not watching too much T.V., always using a computer with adult supervision, and never to bully other people.

Palo Alto College's Children's Leadership Academy is designed to give children the opportunity to experience learning beyond the classroom setting. The summer program consists of three two-week sessions that will teach students, age 5-10, leadership, character development, academic, art, dance, and physical education.

Students will learn theories, practice techniques, apply critical thinking skills, and participate in team building exercises that they can apply to school, sports, and community involvement. Aside from Nacho Estrada's performance, the children will also enjoy field trips to the San Antonio Zoo and Natural Bridge Caverns.
