This June Kamdyn Huff and Jameson Marlatt, both upcoming sixth-graders from South Elementary School in Dover, will join other middle school students from across the nation to take part in an academic and career-oriented development experience, Envision’s Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C.
The Junior National Young Leaders Conference is one of the Envision family of programs that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom. More information can be found at www.envisionexperience.com.
Both students were nominated by their fifth-grade teacher, Lindsay Morris, for their academic achievements and leadership skills.
Kami Huff, daughter of Dr. Kevin and Stacie Huff, is involved in her school TAG program and also enjoys playing the piano, competing in gymnastics, and participating in her church activities and Awana Club. Huff aspires to become a forensic scientist and is excited to learn how to become a stronger and better leader through this experience.
Jameson Marlatt, son of Mike and Sara Marlatt, is a member of the Boy Scouts of America and is a goalkeeper for the Canton United Soccer Club. He also enjoys reading, camping and hiking. Marlatt’s goals include attending the Ohio State University to obtain a degree in engineering while also playing for their soccer team. He hopes to develop new leadership skills and connect with other students from across the country during his time in Washington, D.C.
“The Junior National Young Leaders Conference is a great opportunity for high-achieving scholars to get outside the classroom and see through hands-on, interactive learning how to innovate and think creatively,” said Andrew Potter, the chief academic officer for Envision. “These students, who have already proven themselves academically, will be challenged to work on real-world, student-created projects to bring their studies and career interests to life.”
Since 1985 Envision programs have served more than 800,000 students in more than 145 countries with programs designed to help students develop the leadership, scholarship and career skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive college and career landscape.
