               RYLA stands for Rotary Youth Leadership Academy – and we were pleased to have as our program the two who had been sponsored by our club to attend this past June.

               Skylar Peterson said her brothers had attended and they came back with such exciting reports that she was happy to learn that she was going to be able to attend.

               They did true colors testing, which helped them to determine their personality strengths.  She said she was green and gold which meant that she was smart and organized (she said, not always!).

               She was pleased with the challenge of learning to work with others; each group had to do a service project.  Their’s was to work with tutoring with the inner city students. They had two days to prepare and then give a presentation.

               She is presently involved with the Student Council and the Science Club at Kirksville High.

               Jack Tigner is a junior at Kirksville, plays trombone in the band.  

               He enjoyed the work of the film crew – individuals could go into the confessional booth and share whatever they wanted (usually something funny); the film crew would edit at the end of the day and make a presentation.  He really liked the fact that there were students from all over the state.

               His group’s service club was called TADAA – Teens Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse – one of the items they suggested was to plan a space for a YMCA like location that featured teens.

               He said the participants were exposed to Rotary during the larger sessions and it was the largest group that RYLA had hosted.
