Bulldog Spotlight
Student Health & Wellness
100% Accountable
The month of March is dedicated to the exploration of the mindset, 100% Accountable. Please read the 100% Accountable Parent Newsletter.
Students will begin to apply the 100% Accountable Mindset. They will begin to take responsibility for their choices, so they can be more in control of their lives. They will practice overcoming beliefs that hold them back from their dreams. They will learn to focus their energy and make the most of their time, and they will understand learning new skills is a part of growing through life.
4 Key Components in this Mindset include:
- Own Your Life
- Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
- Focus Your Energy
- Grow Through Life
