What are student ambassadors?

Thompson Student Ambassadors are involved in a variety of student led programs.  They support school-wide initiatives such as anti-bullying and creating a sense of school community.

How do I become a student ambassador?

 Any student who has a desire to volunteer to serve their school in a positive manner can become a student ambassador.  Teachers and parents can also nominate students.  Fill out a form in the counseling center to begin the process today.

Who sponsors student ambassadors?

Your school counselors, Tisha Henderson, Frank Stello and Terri Cox
 

How much time do I have to commit if I want to be an ambassador?

Students volunteer  based on what they are willing to give.  It can be as little as one activity or as much as being a morning greeter every morning.  As long as students are a positive representative of our school we welcome their service. 

How will I be contacted for service?  Contact will  be from a counselor by email in most cases.  You will let us know if you want to help!  Also, if you signed up for a committee you will be invited to a meeting during or after school.  These meetings will be minimal.
