My Students

"If you inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader." --John Quincy Adams

Our school's vision is to implement the Leader in Me: 7 Habits of Happy Kids program to inspire, create, and motivate our students to believe in themselves and see the diverse uniqueness of fellow peers.

This program establishes a leadership culture among the entire school. My students want to be at the forefront of this amazing implementation and have the supplies necessary to do so. My students are bright, caring and compassionate third graders at a Title I school in northern Florida where 70% of the students qualify for free or reduced price lunch. My seventeen students mean the world to me, and deserve every resource in their educational journey. They are a diverse group with inquiring minds, always wanting to know more and wanting to relate to their learning.

My Project

The resources that we are asking for are going to change my students' lives for the better! We are implementing the Leader in Me: 7 Habits of Happy Kids at our school. The Leader in Me is an innovative, school-wide model that emphasizes a culture of student empowerment and helps unleash each child's full potential. Applying The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®, teachers and students internalize timeless leadership principles that nurture the skills students need for success in the 21st century. Within this model, the students take ownership of their work and actions, this is why I am asking for binders, paper, and dividers, so we can make Data Binders to track our own progress. We are asking for a variety of books that align with the 7 habits, diversity, and the leadership theme. To bring it all together using the paints, I would like for my students to make a paint quilt that will reflect the culture of each student and help unleash each child's full potential in creativity!

As Mr. Quincy quote stated, "If you inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader." I want to make this quote a reality in my classroom, this year and for years to come.

Your donation will impact the lives of my students for years to come!
