Tori Warner -- Middleborough's 2016 Project 351 Representative

On Thursday, February 4, Tori Warner Presented to School Committee

Tori Warner, Nichols Middle School 8th grade student, presented her experience from Project 351 at the MPS School Committee Meeting from Thursday, February 4.

Project 351 celebrates the power of young people as a force for positive change in their communities and our Commonwealth. Through service, leadership development, enrichment, and friendship with a statewide community of peers, Ambassadors build skills and confidence, explore issues, embrace leadership, and motivate a lifetime of service.

Project 351's programmatic focus is to inspire, enrich, and enable the service leadership and civic engagement of our 8^th grade Ambassadors.  The Ambassador term spans a calendar year and includes four cornerstone platforms for development.  Launch Celebration & Service Day in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at Faneuil Hall and Massachusetts State House; Leadership Reunion for skills development and service learning; and two statewide service days -- Spring Greening with Cradles to Crayons and Fall Service supporting local food banks across the state.

We as a Nichols' faculty voted who would be the best 8th grade student to represent the Town of Middleborough at this day of service and though we had many worthy students, Tori was voted to be our representative.

When Tori spoke about her involvement with Project 351 to the School Committee, she talked about her experience, with such enthusiasm, and highlighted how honored she was to be chosen.  Tori will continue her volunteer work throughout the rest of the year as she will try to help with Cradles to Crayons, and I am sure she will continue to be selfless throughout her life.

Congrats, Tori, for representing us so well not only during your Project 351 Day of Service, or at the School Committee Meeting, but each day as a great Nichols TIGER.
