A 5th-grade student gave such an amazing presentation to first graders, showing them how to make paper snakes. The first graders asked great questions and offered compliments.

Our students are hard at work on their Leader in Me WIG (Wildly Important Goal) binders! 🎯📚

Using the principles from The Leader in Me, students are setting meaningful goals, tracking their progress, and reflecting on their growth. These binders help them take ownership of their learning, celebrate successes, and build lifelong leadership habits. We love seeing students take initiative, stay organized, and work toward their personal and academic goals. The future is bright when our leaders are leading themselves! 🌟

As part of our 100th Day of School celebration, our first graders participated in a canned-good collection as a community service project. Together, they collected 148 items! How amazing is that?! 🎉

This project connected perfectly to Leader in Me, as students practiced being responsible, kind, and proactive by helping others in our community. We are so proud of their big hearts and their ability to turn 100 days of learning into meaningful action! #leaderinme #Mustangsmakeithappen
