TULARE, Calif. (KFSN) -- Students in Tulare were full of energy at Alpine Vista Elementary School this morning for a student leadership conference.

The campus held its "Impact, Empower, Lead" Conference as the school year came to a close.

Alpine Vista Elementary School student Aaron Cox won the lip-sync battle.

"I was excited - I learned whatever it takes, persevere and follow your dreams in life," Cox said.

Teacher Heather Silver said, "It was really important for us to have this at our school because we truly believe that we need to show our students their worth and their future potential".
