My Project

We are a Leader in Me School, so each year, we host a Leadership Day where students teach the community and District about the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The students plan and facilitate the entire day.

This year, they have chosen the theme, "Leaders in Bloom" and they have selected different decorations and props.

I would like them to have everything they want so that they can decorate the auditorium and put on an amazing Leadership Day for the community. It is one of the highlights of the year!

The dirt and seeds will allow the students to create a garden area at school. The butterfly and bee costumes will be used during the Leadership Day program to bring the theme to life. The balloons will be used to create flowers around the auditorium, and the bee sculptures will add a nice garden touch.
