With the help of a sizable grant, two area schools will be introducing a leadership program. Beginning this fall, Sigourney and Tri-County Middle Schools will start “Ricochet”. Ricochet encourages youth to work as a team and helps them build leadership skills.

The program also provides students opportunities to discover their leadership abilities and the possibilities they have to impact the community. Ricochet was made possible though a grant for $2150 from Keokuk County Community Endowment Foundation.
