🌟 Interns Share Insights at Geneva Lake West Chamber Luncheon
Last week, at the Geneva Lake West Chamber of Commerce Luncheon, six talented interns took the stage to share their experiences from this summer’s Chamber Internship Program. Their presentations highlighted what they learned about local government, school boards, municipalities, and the area’s thriving business community.
Learning Through Experience
Throughout the internship, students attended city council, chamber and school board meetings, volunteered at community events, and met with local leaders to better understand how decisions are made in the Geneva Lake area.
A Program Built on Connection
The Geneva Lake West Chamber Internship Program connects local high school students with mentors from business, education, and local government. Interns gain first-hand insight into public service, civic leadership, and professional communication while contributing meaningfully to community and Chamber initiatives.
Each intern completes a series of community learning projects, and gives their final presentations to Chamber members, local organizations and their peers.
Inspiring the Next Generation
There is much appreciation for the interns’ commitment and civic involvement. Programs like this ensure that future leaders understand and value the teamwork that sustains local communities.

It's homecoming week and the athletic field lights will be lit up later in the evenings this week to help deter any further activities in
unlit areas. We know that this is not ideal for all surrounding neighborhoods but we would hope this deterrent is preferable to any future noise disturbance. Thank you for your understanding.
And tomorrow's theme for Homecoming week is Twister Tuesday mis-match day

October 6 is more than just a date on the calendar; it's National Coaches Day. Coaches play a vital role in shaping the lives of those they influence, serving as role models and sources of inspiration. Their guidance imparts valuable skills and life lessons beyond the field, court, or classroom. The impact of a great coach is immeasurable, as they instill discipline and shape character. Today, let's express our gratitude to all the coaches who support opportunities to foster "Success For All Students" at Big Foot High School. Go Chiefs!
