Lenape Ambassador Program

The Lenape Ambassador Program, starting in the 2010-11 school year, aims to support students through initiatives driven by their own ideas and majority vote. Focusing on enhancing the transition to 7th grade, alleviating 9th grade assessment stress, and collaborating with students with special needs, this program encourages active student participation. Subcommittees like Summer Orientation and Beautification engage students in meaningful activities. If you’re compassionate, responsible, and a good communicator, apply by October 3, 2013, to start making a positive impact at Lenape!
