IJGA Newsletter: The Oaks February 2020 | Page 13

IJGA KICK-OFF EVENT Graduation, i.e. Class of 2020, and checklists of discussions by grade were reviewed within the Class and as a group. This gave each Class a chance to see where they had come from or where they were going. It also created an opportunity for individual classes to ask questions that would pertain to them specifically, that their own class would be able to identify with. The day concluded with a reiteration of #BeintheNow from the Fall. The first semester had passed, and the second semester was going to go faster. We encouraged them to enjoy the time, the moment and being at IJGA! Old Carolina IJGA Director of Mental Performance / Character Mentor Skylar Jewell, IJGA Director of Student Life Amanda Williams and IJGA Director of College Planning + Placement LeeAnne Misseldine held the Community Kick- Off event at Old Carolina. Activities and topics included team building exercises, personality tests, academy overview, values, expectations and the Habitutes Program. 13
