Community Connection Through Student Service

In this inspiring episode of The Knight's Roundtable, host Dr. Kyle Gibbs focuses on one of the Farmington School District's four main pillars: Community Connectedness.

Dr. Gibbs is joined by a fantastic group of student leaders representing various high school organizations—JROTC (Ava and Chris), Key Club (Claire), National Honor Society (NHS) (Mady), and Student Council (Addie). These students share how their groups go beyond the requirements to serve the school and the wider Farmington community meaningfully.

Listen in as they discuss:

• Key Service Projects: Hear about Student Council's community-building Fall Homecoming parade, NHS's student-feedback initiative RSVP, JROTC's support for veterans and town cleanup efforts, Key Club's record-breaking support for the local Pink Penguin Project, and JAG's community events like the Trunk or Treat.

• The Power of Service: Students share what has made their work meaningful, from exceeding service-hour requirements to collaborating on projects like Habitat for Humanity.

• Developing Skills: Discover how their involvement is fostering essential skills in teamwork, collaboration, and leadership, and how these experiences are shaping their future goals.

• Advice for the Community: The episode concludes with the students' advice for anyone—adult or student—looking to give back, with final, impactful words that describe what serving others has taught them, including resilience, gratitude, fulfillment, reward, and fellowship.

This episode is a testament to how Farmington students are actively making a difference, embodying the spirit of a true "Knight."
