El Morro ’ s Sea Lion Squad is discovering the power of giving back .
What do you get when you create a student council that ’ s super inclusive , extra creative , and powered by student ideas ? Tons of fun — and a new after-school class called Sea Lion Squad , offered this year to all El Morro students in grades 3-5 at no cost .
“ Students have used their voices and leadership skills to bring joy to our school !” – Dr . Julie Hatchel , El Morro principal
Sea Lion Squad students choose one of three teams . The Green Team , led by Tami Mays , focuses on environmental impact throughout El Morro . Caroline Cannan ’ s Spirit Team infuses campus life with positivity . Tristyn Nguyen ’ s Care Team plans community-building projects to promote mental wellness .
SchoolPower worked with El Morro ’ s faculty to offer Sea Lion Squad as part of the After School Program . This spring SchoolPower is helping to fund new projects . Ideas include : “ Friendship Day ,” an animal-related philanthropic event , a waste audit at lunch , a crayon recycling program , a lemonade stand , and Spring Spirit Week .
“ Sea Lion Squad empowers students to think big and create engaging events at their school , for the benefit of others .” – Caroline Cannan , El Morro teacher
In the last two years , SchoolPower has funded over 120 grants , totalling almost $ 400,000 , in support of Laguna Beach students .
Supporting Sea Lion Squad is just one of those grants . That means kids at El Morro can experience the pride of leadership and apply their enthusiasm to the world beyond the classroom . With your support , SchoolPower can continue to help all Laguna Beach students find their passion and reach their potential .
