I hope everyone had a great Fall Break over the long weekend. That was a great opportunity for us to practice Habit 7 - Sharpen the Say. I hope you all had the chance to spend time doing activities that make you feel renewed!
This week we had a chance to spend a day with our Leader In Me coach reflecting on the progress we've made so far in the implementation of this program. This program takes 3 - 5 years to fully implement and we are in year 2. It was a great reflection and showed us that we've made amazing progress. We are so excited not only by the events and more tangible things that have come from the program But, even more by the way we are seeing the program effect how our students behave, interact with others, and take responsibility for their education. That is sometimes harder to see at a quick glance but having the chance to sit down and reflect on what we are seeing from the students showed us that they are really starting to own the 7 Habits. As a parent, you can use these habits at home also. If your child is struggling with getting their homework done, remind them of Habit 1 - Be Proactive and Habit 3 - Put First Things First. If you are dealing with sibling or friends arguing, then remind them of Habit 5 - Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood and Habit 4 - Think Win-Win.
Next week we are going to spend another day with our coach working on writing Wildly Important Goals. We are very excited to get this process started with our kids!

I hope everyone has a great weekend and spends time with family and friends!
