My Students

I'm fortunate to be part of a school that strives for excellence. We meet students' needs with rigorous teaching strategies and expect only the best from our students.

My school is proud to be a Leader in Me school that works on taking the 7 Habits of author Steven Covey, making them age-appropriate, and working them into our school campus so that students begin to see their campus as a way to show leadership.

Leader in Me is not a curriculum, but rather a way of doing life on the school campus through awareness of how we learn and grow, and how we speak and treat one another. Students learn the habit of solving conflicts, and then they become mentors for others. This is just one way the Leader in Me program looks on our campus. Students take the 7 Habits that are taught to them and begin to think of ways they can take ownership of their campus through leadership. Whether it's a 5th grader helping a 1st grader to read, students setting goals and overcoming academic obstacles, or students seeing a need to clean their campus, these are all ways that the 7 Habits teach students to lead.

My Project

I am requesting items for our student leadership Community Outreach Team. Each month, our students on this team have been thinking of ideas of ways to bless their community. Students thought of the idea of making various holiday items for our local veteran's hall.

Students will decorate stockings, ornaments, and placemats to then be delivered to the veteran's hall, and will be used to decorate to show our local veterans how much we appreciate them, and all that they have done for us.

These activities are helping to teach our students how to be resourceful, and use our talents to bless others.
