Fifth graders are nominated by teachers as being responsible, friendly students who are trained to meet, greet and take new students and parents on a tour of our school and to answer any questions about Magill. Many of these students are bilingual and are able to facilitate communication when we have families who don't speak English. Ambassadors are trained early in September and rotate their duties as we have new students and families moving into our school.
