Little Leader Day returns to Mountain Brook for 2nd year

On Sunday, May 1, Mountain Brook High School students in Leadership Mountain Brook are hosting the second annual Little Leader Day. 

The city of Mountain Brook and the Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce are also sponsors of the event.

First- through third-grade students will be able to learn about their community and build leadership skills with the help of city leaders. 

Participating students will receive a T-shirt, complete a city service project and go on a scavenger hunt inspired by “Buttons Explores the Brook,” a book written earlier this year by students in Leadership Mountain Brook. 

“We are excited to take the skills we have learned this year and put them into practice, with hopes of spreading leadership among elementary student,” Anne Raines Doidge, a Leadership Mountain Brook student, said. “We are going to use the ‘Buttons’ book to excite the kids about leadership. The book was well received among the community, so we are looking forward to utilizing it throughout our event.”

Little Leader Day will take place from 1-3 p.m. at Mountain Brook City Hall. The event will run simultaneously to Taste of Mountain Brook, which begins at 11:30 a.m. on Hoyt Street. 

Registration is $25 per student and can be filled out online at welcometomountainbrook.com.
