Cypress Christian School students had a great leadership trip to Washington, D.C. The second leg of the Student Leadership University (SLU) journey is a great leadership conference filled with powerful guest speakers and a patriotic experience in our nation’s capital. The speaker list included top Christian leaders from our military, business, government and several prominent ministries. The leadership lessons and inspiring stories from the speakers were great as always, but the speakers were also able to convey how the Lord and biblical principles were critical to the success they have had.
Students not only heard about the personal lives of the speakers but also received leadership lessons from the lives of our country’s great founders through biographical presentations.
Our students visited The Holocaust Museum, The Museum of the Bible, The Smithsonian Museum of American History, plus an inspiring tour of monuments where they learned about America’s proud contributions and the incredible cost of freedom. From the Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson monuments to the hallowed ground of Arlington Cemetery and the tribute of Iwo Jima, students were surrounded by the awe-inspiring leaders and events that have shaped the world. It was a great week of learning about the God-based vision of our founding fathers, as well as the sacrifices made throughout history to ensure the freedoms and blessings we have experienced as a nation.
