High school and middle school Student Council leaders teamed up to host the Fifth Grade Leadership Workshop today. Students from across the Lubbock area attended to gain insight into what it means to be a leader and to learn more about Talkington with fun games, important lessons, and a tour. Thank you, StuCo, for putting on this amazing event, and thank you to all who attended. We loved meeting future Warriors!
