There, everyone took a personality test and discussed how to make their different traits work together as a team. Next, they discussed important qualities of a leader and made keychains to remind themselves of each quality. Once the team arrived back at the school everyone played a game to learn about balance and teamwork. The team organized a list of important events that happen throughout the year, made a plan for the impact each individual would like to make and wrote letters to people that they appreciate.
