Leader in MeWe have a strong focus on growing leaders as we prepare 5th graders to transition to middle school. We build strong relationships via morning meetings, and provide numerous opportunities for our students to set goals, demonstrate accountability, and lead the way to academic and personal success. We know this will be an amazing year!

The 7 HabitsIn 5th grade, we live the 7 Habits: Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand Then Be Understood, Synergize, and Sharpen the Saw.
