Logan hosts 2024 KAY regional conference

The KAY Club of Logan High School had the privilege of hosting the Area 4 KAY Regional Conference on Friday, November 15^th. Ryan Prewo, a senior at Logan, concluded his yearlong reign as Area 4 KAY President with a wonderful speech entitled “The Heart of a Leader: KAYs Legacy!”

The club received the Gold Award, recognizing their student leadership and service to their school, community, nation and world for the 2023-2024 school year.

The Kansas Association for Youth (KAY) is a character-building, leadership training program directed by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. This nationally acclaimed organization provides students an opportunity to learn to assume their citizenship responsibilities and to enrich their personalities through well-organized programs. These programs emphasize four areas of service: school, community, nation and world.

The theme for the 2024 Regional Conference was "Waves of Service"! This conference affords opportunities for student leaders and sponsors from neighboring clubs to share successes and challenges, as well as exchange ideas. Sessions in leadership training and organizational skills are also offered. These conferences inspire delegates to return to their clubs to challenge their local members.
