π Kindness in Action! π
Future leaders practice kindness because it show we're thinking about others! π It means we're friendly and gracious, always asking ourselves, "How do others feel? What can I do for them?" π€ Kindness is all about action! We can show kindness at school, at home, and in the world around us! π«π Let's do kind things for those around us without expecting anything in return! π #KindnessMatters #FutureLeaders #SpreadLove π
Today's student spotlight goes to Jase Story. "Jase is such a leader in the classroom, and is always encouraging others to make good choices.

π Respect: The Foundation of Leadership! π
Future Leaders understand that to make the world a better place, we must show respect! π« This means treating people in ways that demonstrate we care, through our words and actions. We show respect the first time, every time! We especially show respect to those around us who possess more knowledge and experience, such as our parents and teachers. Let's lead by example and foster a culture of respect in everything we do! π #FutureLeaders #Respect #LeadershipValues π
