The kids' school is a Leader In Me school that teaches leadership curriculum based on Sean Covey's book "The 7 Habits of Happy Kids".
On Wednesday, Jacob, Sarah and Ethan all got to participate in a Leap Into Leadership night that presented the seven habits to parents. The each had speaking parts in their various skits and Jacob even made these letters out of LEGOs to display.
On Thursday, we participated in a Fun Run to raise money for our school track. The Fun Run team spent two weeks at our school prior to the run teaching 8-minute leadership lessons in every classroom every day! Here's our principal taking a pie in the face after a successful challenge. She's such a good sport!
Sarah's class photo after the run showing the kids' shirts with laps crossed off. Most kids ran between 30-40 laps on the specially-designed course. Sarah is in the middle of the back row between the girl with the knotted shirt and the boy with the khaki shorts.
The Fun Run will likely raise about $40,000 for our school ... an amazing program!
