🏆🌟 THERE IS A LEADER IN YOU! 🌟🏆
This school year at East Elementary, students are learning about positive habits that can help them grow into confident, responsible leaders.
Each month, students are introduced to a new habit and encouraged to practice it throughout the month. At the end of each month, students who demonstrate the habit are selected to receive a There Is a Leader in You award!
📚 SEPTEMBER - HABIT #1: BE PROACTIVE 📚
Being proactive means taking responsibility, making good choices, and taking action instead of waiting for someone else to tell you what to do.
Congratulations to our September award winners! We are so proud of the way you are showing leadership each and every day! Keep up the amazing work, Orabs!
