Whiteknact's First Annual Leaders' Luncheon
On Monday, May 8th, Ms. Amy Resnick's Fifth Grade Class at Whiteknact Elementary School hosted their First Annual Leaders' Luncheon. After Whiteknact's very own Mianna Gonsalves was sworn in as 2017 Rhode Island Governor for a Day, Ms. Resnick and Mianna worked together to extend a similar leadership opportunity to their whole class.
Invitations were sent out to local leaders to come and join Ms. Resnick's class for lunch and conversations revolving around leadership. Superintendent Kathryn Crowley delivered a Welcome Address.
