We have finished our first full week of school! Our classes have been learning all about Leader in Me and the 7 habits. Our 4th grade classes were working together to build the tallest tower out of spaghetti noodles and marshmallows. So proud of them embracing habit 6 to synergize with each other! We are excited to continue learning together this year!
