We are excited to invite you to our Leader in Me Family Night on September 15th, from 4:30pm - 6:00pm in the Gym.
This will be a fun evening for the whole family. As you make your way through the gym, you'll have the chance to visit different stations that focus on each of the 8 Habits. Every station will include a simple activity that families can complete together while learning more about the habits your child is practicing at school.
We'll also have snacks available and each family will leave with a craft that you can complete together and take home.
Because this is a floating event, you are welcome to arrive at any time during the evening and participate at your own pace.
We hope you'll make plans to join us. It will be a great opportunity to spend time together while learning more about the Leader in Me framework and how these habits can be used at home as well as at school.
We look forward to seeing you there!
