ILI Administration: Mike Dailey
Ernie opened the session welcoming and thanking everyone for attending.He began by introducing himself, then each person in the circle introduced themselves and told what grade they represented.He placed the hand cards of the five principles of ILI on the floor in the middle of the circle the students formed.He invited the students to come forward and select one of the cards.In turn, each student spoke of the purpose of each principle.The principles which are emphasized in each and every ILI session with elementary sessions include: Safety, Fun, Respect, Cooperation and Communication.The students did an excellent job of explaining the principles and why they are important to us.One more principle, Pride, was added by Kyah.
Ernie then introduced Mike Dailey who began a very good discussion with the students explaining the involvement and commitment of Lakeland Union High School with ILI.A wonderful question and answer period followed his brief talk.The students talked about why ILI is important and how it has impacted their lives.
Mr. Dailey then asked if they had a magic wand and had the ability to make changes with it, what changes would they make with the ILI program.A student answered, "we would have more ILI!"He asked how that would be accomplished and more students offered ways that this might be possible including getting together on their own, without staff or teachers needing to be involved such as during lunch, after school, weekends, summers.

Mr. Dailey discussed how students have the ability to have an impact on other people even if they are not involved in ILI.
