Park View Intermediate School’s Iain Furstenwerth and Thompson Intermediate’s Kaitlyn Wallis have been selected to participate in Education in Action’s summer 2007 Lone Star Leadership Academy programs in Austin. 

Furstenwerth and Wallis, who are both seventh grade students, were selected to attend the program because of their academic success and leadership abilities.  

During the weeklong residential Lone Star Leadership Academy programs, selected students join delegations of other distinguished students from across the state to develop leadership skills while learning about the great state of Texas.  Participants experience what they are learning in school through visits to historically, politically, scientifically and environmentally significant sites including the San Jacinto Battleground Monument and Moody Gardens.  Career speakers will introduce participants to a wide variety of unique career and internship opportunities.
