LEAD Assembly at Brentwood
Social media, drugs and alcohol, bullying…these are all issues that can present challenges for kids as they navigate through their teenage years.
Ron Arnoni and National Speaker and author Brad Killmeyer addressed each of these topics during a recent presentation for students in grades 8-12 at Brentwood Middle/High School. As a Brentwood graduate and former mayor of Brentwood, Arnoni told the students that he feels a special obligation to help them make good decisions and avoid the negative consequences that poor decisions can bring.
Mr. Arnoni and Mr. Killmeyer recently established the LEAD program to “inspire students to achieve their goals.” The acronym LEAD stands for Leadership, Education, Accountability, and Direction. During the assembly, Mr. Arnoni and Mr. Killmeyer used statistics, videos, and real-life situations to educate the students about the impact that their decisions can have on themselves as well as their friends and families. In addition to discussing the dangers of negative behaviors, Mr. Arnoni and Mr. Killmeyer also presented the students with the 5 D’s that they consider “Keys to Success”: Direction, Distractions, Decisions, Discipline, and Development.

LEAD is a three-tiered program that covers drugs (including vaping), alcohol, and social media, and also teaches students leadership skills. Programmed as a 60-minute assembly, it currently targets seventh through 12th graders and their families. Recently, colleges and universities have been inquiring how LEAD can assist their staff in preventing problems on their campuses.
To help students learn about this life-changing information, we apply several scientifically-proven teaching techniques, including visualization, mapping, and inquiry-based learning. Students remain acutely attentive during the program due to its one-of-a-kind, back-and-forth con-tent delivery, along with powerful short videos.
