Vista Heights Student Leaders Meet Like-Minded Peers

Student leaders from Vista Heights Middle School had a great opportunity recently to gather with hundreds of other students from the region who share their passion for school involvement. VHMS Yearbook, ASB, Club Live, AVID and BSU students attended the Jostens Renaissance Back to School Tour at Temecula Valley High School. The Jostens Renaissance Back to School Tour is a pep-rally style, multi-school event featuring renowned youth speaker Mike Smith. Geared toward both student leaders and advisers, the half day conference starts with inspiration for action from Smith and is followed with action planning to be brought back to area schools. Schools are supplied with real ideas that have shown positive results over the course of 25 years of Jostens Renaissance. A self-proclaimed “professional teenager,” Smith is a renowned youth speaker who inspires students to make positive choices and encourages them to pursue their passions and leave a positive legacy. The hundreds of students took a big selfie during a portion of the event to be a part of the Mannequin Challenge, where everyone freezes in a pose as if they are a mannequin.
