About the Project

The Lions Showcase Project combines Performing Arts and Leadership. Performing and visual arts productions are an incredible way to reach a large audience with our message on the importance of diversity. Students will collaborate with other student body members to create a culturally relevant showcase for middle school and elementary school students. Students will learn to write scripts, improve public speaking, and learn different ways of expression. Each one of our events will promote social justice through a lens of understanding our differences and showing empathy for others. The Lion Showcase team members develop as leaders by learning rules of conduct in a formal meeting. Students will learn how to open/close a meeting, bring up new business, and how to vote on important issues. The students will elect peer leaders and learn how to navigate education and business organizational structures. Students will learn best practices on how to keep their team motivated, ways to use ice breakers effectively, and positive leadership styles.
