The 2nd-5th grade students took the lead in setting the tone for recess this year! Using Leader in Me strategies, each grade level worked to create posters about what they want to see, hear, and feel during recess. After brainstorming, students from each class shared their posters with the group, showing that when we set clear expectations TOGETHER, everyone benefits! #celebrate379

For the past two days, USD 379 teachers, paras, aides, secretaries, and custodians have been involved in the district-wide implementation of The Leader in Me, a whole-school transformation process developed by FranklinCovey Education.
The program has been used at 379 schools in the past, but it has never been a full district initiative until now. It focuses on teaching social-emotional and leadership skills, including communication, goal setting, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. This program has shown the ability to:
1. Increase Student Leadership & Academic Performance: Studies show that Leader in Me schools show increased student leadership and academic performance, including significant gains in subjects like ELA and math.
2. Improve School Culture: The program promotes a positive school environment by emphasizing respect, collaboration, and student voice, leading to higher teacher satisfaction, fewer discipline incidents, and better student attendance.
3. Empower Educators & Families: Leader in Me also equips educators with transformational leadership skills and provides resources to involve families in their children's learning.
379 families will see much more information in the coming months with this program. We are excited to see how it helps our students, staff, and schools! #celebrate379

The 3rd & 8th grade buddy teams took their learning beyond the classroom last Friday—with a local adventure full of money tips, business smarts, and… 🍦ice cream! First stop: Riley State Bank! 💰 Josh Martin shared how to start a business and why saving money is a big deal. Then it was off to The Bomber Grind, where Neal Summerson gave students a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a local business. He even sent everyone off with an ice cream treat. Huge thanks to these amazing community partners for making economics and life skills come alive. Wakefield is lucky to have you! 💙 #celebrate379
