As the school year wrapped up, our T1L1 graduation ceremonies showcased the true spirit of our program. One student's actions stood out, perfectly capturing the essence of our Universal Principles. This remarkable young leader received 'The Second Mile' Award for going above and beyond. Using our Mobile Mentor App, she helped a fellow student catch up on missed T1L1 sessions, ensuring he could graduate with the group. This student didn't just learn our principles - she lived them, creating a ripple effect of positive change. Stories like these remind us why we do what we do. They show that when young people internalize these values, they become agents of transformation in their communities. ✨ Have you witnessed a T1L1 student embodying our principles?

🌟 Exciting things are happening at LIS! Our G1-G5 students are taking the lead in reimagining our playground areas as part of our new Primary Student Council initiative. Based on a student request from April, our young delegates are actively exploring how we currently use playground spaces, identifying underutilized areas, and brainstorming improvements. This hands-on project is a fantastic way for our students to engage in meaningful leadership and collaboration. Their mission is clear: 🔹 Increase the attractiveness of play areas for ALL learners (inclusive). 🔹 Empower students to find their voice and lead (courageous). 🔹 Help students experience the impact they can have on their community (proud). Next week, our delegates will share their observations and ideas with classmates and gather fresh insights. On Friday, we'll start collecting and refining these ideas for area improvements and new games, which will then be presented to our school management. We’re so proud of our students for stepping up and taking charge of this project. Stay tuned for updates on their progress! #LISLions #StudentLeadership #InclusivePlay #ProudLIS #EmpoweredLearners

🔥 Preferred Walk-On: A Valuable, But Limited, Path in College Athletics For many athletes, being a preferred walk-on seems like an incredible achievement. You’ve earned a spot on the team—without athletic scholarship aid—and get to train alongside scholarship players. But let’s talk about what that actually means: while you’ll be part of the team, you’ll often find yourself primarily a practice player. And sure, there are lessons in grit, hard work, and commitment here. But what if there’s a better way? At a Division 3 or club program, you’re far more likely to get on the field, lead your team, and make a real impact. Many D3 schools also offer academic scholarships, which opens up financial support without limiting your playing time. Girls, especially, tend to excel in environments where they can lead, are actively valued, and get real play time. The D1 walk-on route works for some—but don’t overlook the rich experiences D3 and club sports provide. It’s not only about getting a jersey; it’s about academics, leadership, and having the confidence that you’re making a difference. These qualities will drive you forward in sports and beyond. Remember, your growth isn’t just about the game—it’s about making sure you’re in a place where you can truly thrive. 🌟 #CollegeAthletics #D3Sports #WomenInLeadership #PlayToLead #EmpowermentThroughSports

We Lost...😔 . . . . It all started with a typical, dreaded school assembly. Amidst the usual announcements, a glimmer of excitement caught our attention: a kabaddi tournament with a whopping ₹11,000 first prize! 🏆 A bunch of 13-year-old eighth graders, we were more interested in the ₹3,500 third prize, honestly. With a mere ₹100 entry fee, it felt like a no-brainer. Little did we know, we were about to dive headfirst into a whirlwind. Our opponents? Mostly in their 20s. We were the underdogs, no doubt. But fueled by youthful exuberance and a love for the game, we defied the odds. 💪 With each match, our bond as a team grew stronger. The roar of the crowd, the sweat-soaked jerseys, the adrenaline rush – it was a rollercoaster of emotions. 🎢 We were the underdogs who dared to dream. Reaching the semifinals was a dream come true. 🥳✨ But the reality of facing seasoned players hit hard. Despite our best efforts, injuries and exhaustion took their toll. The final whistle was a bitter pill to swallow. 🥺 Yet, the experience was a goldmine of lessons. The thunderous applause, the unexpected prize money, and the unwavering support taught us the power of belief. 🙌 We might have lost the match, but we won hearts and gained a lifetime of memories. ❤️ #Motivation #Success #Leadership #Inspiration #Sports #Teamwork #Resilience #Youth #Learning #Community #Growth #Achievement

In today's digital-driven world, student development through athletics is being overlooked. Children are spending more time on screens and less time engaging in physical activity, teamwork, and personal growth. At Reign Scholars, we bridge the gap between academics and athletics. Our program combines virtual schooling with elite volleyball training to help young athletes build perseverance, confidence, and discipline, all qualities that prepare them for success both on and off the court. We believe sports are not a distraction, but a vital part of a child's development. Join us in shaping the next generation of resilient leaders.

Breaking Limits: A Year of Gold, Goals, and Growth 🌟 2019 was just a whirl in my life. Being in Class 10 then, that year was the year of board exams—the most talked-about milestone—a student has to see first above everything. But it wasn't just this board exam milestone alone; it also presented me an opportunity to go out of the books and meet real-life challenges—testing not the IQ, but spirit and stamina.That year, I worked hard to compete in the 100-meter sprint and football events at the regional level in Bengaluru. It was a moment of pure triumph, one that I will always cherish, to have won gold in both events 🥇. But getting there wasn't an easy path. Understandably, my teachers were concerned. They urged me to skip sports and focus on academics only. "Board exams are crucial," they said, and rightly so. But I believed that some of the biggest lessons in life are learnt outside the classroom. So, I promised myself—and my teachers—that I'd give my best to both. I juggled long hours of study with some intense practice sessions. It all paid off when I sprinted to victory and my team lifted that football trophy.⚽️🎗 Adding to all this, I also took up the responsibility of being an active member of the Student Parliament, which was a crash course in leadership and teamwork to address student concerns and drive positive change in school. It wasn't easy balancing academics, sports, and leadership, but it taught me something invaluable: where there's passion, there's a way. Time management, discipline, and an unyielding belief in myself made it all possible. The discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills I built along the way become my biggest assets.
