Carson High's Future Business Leaders club help to preserve Sand Harbor with cleanup
This past weekend, nearly two dozen members of Carson High School’s (CHS) Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), along with their advisors, took part in a community service project at Sand Harbor, Lake Tahoe. The group spent the afternoon collecting garbage along the shoreline and in surrounding areas, contributing to the preservation of the natural beauty of the popular destination.
After the cleanup, student participated in a series of leadership activities and games designed to promote teamwork, communication and unity among the group. The day ended with a shared dinner, providing the students with an opportunity to bond and reflect on their service and leadership experiences. As the evening ended, students watched the sunset together admiring the beauty of Lake Tahoe.
The event not only allowed FBLA members to give back to their community by keeping Sand Harbor pristine but also fostered stronger relationships within the organization, building a sense of teamwork and pride that will carry over into future endeavors.
