Habit 8

This month we will be working on Habit 8, Find your Voice.  

Students: your challenge to help you find your voice will be to do a presentation in your classes.  Your teachers will help you with a topic. After your presentation, fill out an evaluation sheet of how you think you did, and put it in your leadership binder. Don't worry if you feel like you didn't do very good.  You will have another chance in May to present in your class and be able to make improvements.

Parents: your challenge this month is to ask us questions, listen to us, and help us find our voice. Each Friday of this month students will be coming home wearing a sticker with a question for you to ask us. This is to help you, help us find our voice. But please don’t wait till Friday to talk to us.
