TACO Team
Current 8th grade students are invited to apply for next year’s TACO team. The acronym TACO stands for Teachable, Authentic, Courageous, and Oh Yeah! These are the attributes that help us to become leaders that are more like Jesus. TACO team members attend monthly training to learn more about how to lead more like Jesus, and have the opportunity to put their learning into practice through leadership opportunities in Fusion. Download the application below or pick up one at Fusion. Talk to Emma Larson if you have any questions.
