MEChA Holds Leadership Conference
by Elma Gonzalez

Last Saturday, the SOH MEChA club hosted the 12th annual "Leadership Conference". The goal of the event was to allow MEChA students from several high schools in the district to bond and share their experiences with other MEChA students, while learning leadership skills.

The day began with a a breakfast of Mexican bread and coffee followed by a welcoming speech given by Mr. Leiva and the two MEChA presidents at SOH. At 10:05am, different workshops were opened to the students. MEChA 101, Time Management, Overcoming High School Obstacles, and ASB 101 were some of the workshops offered at the conference. Delicious Mexican food was offered for lunch, and the Mariachi performed at the event. The most memorable part of the event came towards the end, when Mr. Rodriguez, SOH MEChA adviser, inspired the students continue their education and set high goals for themselves.

Overall, the conference was a success; more than 80 students participated. In the end, Ms. Flores' and the MEChA students' hard work to organize the event paid off
