Southlands Spotlight: Senior Adoption

Southlands Christian High School is all about student leadership and taking initiative. This month’s spotlight is on our Senior Adoption fundraiser! Senior Adoption is when our 7th – 11th-grade classmen have the opportunity to adopt a senior for a day to offset the cost of their annual prom. This enables students to enjoy one of their last memorable high school events at a low cost.  This gives our students a good sense of confidence as they see their ideas and hard work pay off during and after this activity. It is also a real-world application to what they’ve learned in developing leadership skills.

Once the adoption day takes place, a second day is planned in which every senior unites with his/her sponsor for a day. “Senior Family Day” is set aside so that the senior accompanies his/her brother or sister to their classes, lunch, etc. keeping a large group of people united. Every year, our entire campus looks forward to this day.
