After starting with a prayer and a group-building energizer, Deleon Guerrero laid out his vision for the school year, encouraging everyone to work together. <\/p>\n<p>As he put it, \u201cI wanted us to be a family, and it was important for student leaders to lead by example.\u201d He followed his talk by sharing videos encouraging student leaders to passionately pursue their dreams.<\/p>\n<p>After a few more group-building activities, student leaders and their teacher advisers got down to work, planning out the entire school year.\u00a0 Going through week by week, Student Council officers worked with clubs, classes, and organizations to schedule activities for the year.\u00a0 Whenever conflicts emerged, students were ushered aside to work out alternatives and solutions.\u00a0 By the end of the retreat, student leaders had successfully planned out the entire year.<\/p>\n<p>Student Council vice president Jaqueline Doctor was very happy with the results of the retreat. She said, \u201cIt was very productive. A lot of the students participated and were very active in their goals.\u201d <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most teenagers slept in last Saturday, Aug. 27, Mount Carmel School\u2019s student leaders got&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":235558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[11106,1181,2776,13113],"class_list":["post-235550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-jaqueline-doctor","tag-mcs","tag-student-council","tag-zeno-deleon-guerrero"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235550\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
