BOLT (“Building Our Legacy Together”) is a platform for sharing and showing the unique life stories, dreams, and talents of Skyview’s students, staff, and even community members. The entire event is coordinated each year by the students in Leadership class - this year, there are 17 talented juniors and seniors who took on the challenge.

From developing the concept and recruiting presenters, to fundraising for and promoting the event, they work tirelessly on each component of BOLT all year long. BOLT's goal is to use various formats, like speeches and anecdotes, original music, dance, and more, to bring the community together and inspire one another in a positive manner.

While BOLT is typically four distinct presentations held in our school auditorium, this year poses major challenges. However, the Leadership class is leaning into their class values (Humble, Accountable, Brave, Unified, Equitable, Ambitious); they realized that a school closure was a barrier they could still break through and that they should not give up. So, in the spirit of BOLT and "Breaking Barriers," BOLT will be presented in four pre-recorded collections that will be shared with the school and its community in May on a video streaming platform. Although not every original act can be adapted to individual videos from home (live bands, for example, cannot meet to record their piece), most of the event's content can be captured from home and shared with Leadership students for editing and stitching together.
