✨ This Week in Leader in Me! ✨
Courage + Organization = Student Success
It’s easy for students to set goals or make big plans—but the real challenge comes in the moment of choice. That’s where courage shows up. 💪
Courage is choosing what’s right over what’s easy… choosing important over urgent… choosing the goal over the distraction.
This week, our students are learning that putting first things first isn’t just about planning—
it’s about being brave in the moment and making decisions that move them closer to who they want to become. 🌟
They are also practicing how staying organized helps them be both effective and efficient:
📌 Have a place for everything
📌 Organize by role (student, friend, family member)
📌 Shed regularly—get rid of clutter that slows you down
📌 Be effectively efficient with people—relationships always matter most
When students pair courage with organization, they learn to lead themselves with confidence and clarity.

✨ Plan Weekly, Adapt Daily ✨
This week in Leader in Me during Mustang Block, students are learning that effective leaders are effective planners!
Using ideas from The 7 Habits, we’re teaching students that:
🗓️ Weekly planning helps them stay balanced, focused, and intentional.
🎯 It keeps their goals in sight and gives them a clear path forward.
🔄 Adapting daily reminds them to stay flexible when plans change—because life happens!
When students learn to plan their week AND adjust along the way, they build confidence, responsibility, and real-life leadership skills. 🌟
