Haw River Hype

Our Lion Cub Leaders have been putting first things first to demonstrate understanding of their grade level content. We celebrated our wonderful custodial staff, Mr. Randy and Ms. Brenda for Custodian Appreciation Day. They do an amazing job of ensuring our campus remains clean and welcoming!

We saw so many exciting learning opportunities in classrooms this week. Our 4th graders took their learning off campus on our first field trip of the year to the Haw River Learning Celebration in Saxapahaw. Check out some of the photos below highlighting this week's incredible learning opportunities!

Moving into Week 6, we are excited to see the beautiful smiles of our students on picture day and more opportunities to learn, grow, and lead! Our students arriving at school on time, every day is so important. We do not want our students to miss out on these amazing learning opportunities we have in classrooms every day. Let's be proactive and put first things first to ensure our students get every minute of their learning time this week. We are going to have another phenomenal week of Learning, Leading, and Loving it!

As a Leader in Me School, we have 5 Core Paradigms that drive our decisions, behaviors, and results. A paradigm is simply the way we “see” things. These 5 Core Paradigms include:

• Everyone can be a leader.

• Everyone has genius.

• Change starts with me.

• Empower students to lead their own learning.

• Educators and families partner to develop the whole person.

These paradigms or “the way we see things” at our school drive our everyday interaction with not only your student, but ourselves too. A partnership with families supports our ability for students to lead their own educational journey—empowering them to be responsible, reflective, and active in their learning experiences.

The great news about paradigms is that they are also powerful at home! When you operate through these five paradigms in your own life, you are communicating your own value as well as encouraging greatness in your student.

Ways to engage your family in these paradigms can include:

In first place is House Intellectus with 2082 pts! The points leader for House Intellectus is Amina R., in 1st grade with 54 points!
