1. What does leadership mean to you?

OR

2. Pick a person in your school who you feel demonstrates leadership, and tell us why you feel that person is a great leader.




 * Special Kids Network Program - Redesigned **
 * The Pennsylvania Department of Health has redesigned the Special Kids Network program to better serve families of children and youth with special health care needs. For those who require additional assistance in obtaining support services to enable them to make a smooth transition to adulthood, a call to the SKN helpline may help. The toll-free number is 800-986-4550. Staff with years of experience in service coordination answers the phone from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
