As the counselor, I am very excited and proud of Heritage Elementary's recent designation as a Lighthouse School for The Leader in Me initiative! It is our goal to teach and instill principles of leadership so the students will be enabled to live happy, productive, and successful lives. You will continue to hear much about the 7 Habits of Happy Kids from the school and your child as he/she learns about them.
- Be Proactive: I'm in Charge
- Begin With the End in Mind: Have a Plan
- Put First Things First: Work First, Then Play
- Think Win-Win: Everyone Can Win
- Seek First to Understand, Then Be Understood: Listen Before You Talk
- Synergize: Together is Better
- Sharpen the Saw: Balance Feels Best
The Leader in Me Books
The Leader in Me Program is based on the book, The Leader in Me, by Stephen Covey. Check it out to learn about the benefits of the program and what it means to find the leader in every student!
The 7 Habits of Happy Kids follows a group of animal characters as they experience the wonders of life, relationships, and happiness. The book teaches the original 7 Habits in children’s language and entertaining stories.The book is written by Sean Covey, illustrated by Stacy Curtis. I will be using this book with the kids this year.
