Richard Waxman, Executive Director for LIFT For Teens - Levántate, kicked off the Healthy Campus Leadership Council at Marin Oaks Continuation High School in Novato Friday. Inspired by LIFT's successful garden and physical activity programs,twelve students, along with Advisor Jeff Packman, discussed what it takes to be a leader, how to advocate for change, how to build consensus and most importantly, that we can't be spectators to our own lives. The Council meets Fridays and will be addressing issues, concerns and opportunities that impact the physical, social, psychological and emotional health of the students, faculty and staff.
