Leadership Starts With You (from Tom Murray)
Don't worry about the overall importance of the problem; work on it if it looks interesting. I think there's a sufficient correlation between interest and importance. |

The last two weeks are perfect examples of what happens when we let kids lead. Some many of you have provided guidance and suggestions, but the National Junior Honor Society induction ceremony, the Student Senate carnival, and 5th grade community service projects were student driven activities that made me one proud principal. Thanks for all of you who helped with these students and their work. I am so appreciative of your work and their work.
Be the spark!
