Southern Elementary School has been awarded a grant to be a Leader In Me school through the Franklin Covey I am a Leader Foundation.
As a Leader In Me School, the staff went through a week of training this summer with Muriel Summers from Raleigh, N.C., learning the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People written by Stephen Covey.
The students will learn and work from these 7 Habits and the school will focus on building leadership skills. Parents will be involved throughout the year and the first Parent Night to teach Leader In Me will be Aug. 28 at 5:30 p.m.
The 7 Habits focus on creating productive, effective, and happy students who work well with others and take good care of themselves:
Habit 1- Be Proactive
Habit 2- Begin With the End In Mind
Habit 3- Put First Things First
Habit 4- Think Win-Win
Habit 5- Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
Habit 6- Synergize
Habit 7- Sharpen the Saw
There are 1,730 schools world-wide teaching the 7 Habits and leadership skills as official Leader In Me schools.
Southern Elementary School is proud to have been chosen and the staff is excited about the new year!
