LEADERSHIP WEEK 1- Show me the money!!

Welcome to the war room!

We had a great start to the semester yesterday.  I completely LOVE that you recited leadership quotes, listed great leadership traits for our acrostic poem, and were very enthusiastic about your binders!

I can tell we are going to have a superb year.

Here is a brief recap of what we did:

1) Mrs. Schmieder set the bar high with our first Leader in the News.  She highlighted one of the fabulous men who stepped up to help Hurricane Harvey victims by opening up his furniture stores for refuge and much more.

2) We wrote an acrostic poem using the word LEADER.  I was impressed with all the great words you chose.  You really have a handle of what a good leader should be.

3) We reviewed the class's requirements for earning our fabulous leadership class retreat.  This included recording any volunteer hours you have earned since last Thursday.  Make sure you RECORD all your volunteer/service hours in your binder on page 3.

We decided overall that it was going to be easy peasy lemon squeezy.:)

4) You each signed up to present a Leader in the News.  Remember this is what we start each class with and you must be ready to go as soon as the clock strikes 2 pm.  You each need to present 1 by the end of the semester.  Mr. Poyer will present next week.  

5)We took a little tour of our class binders.  Bring them EVERY SINGLE CLASS DAY!!

6) We talked about the importance of calendars and tracking where you must be and what you must do.  You need to know this!:)

In fact, your homework for this week is filling in the calendars at the back of your binders with ALL OF YOUR ACTIVITIES, classes, due dates, etc!!

FILL IT UP!!!!  In this class you will be planning activities, etc.  So we need to know availability.

7) Finally, we started our Scholar Retreat 2017 debrief.  It was great to hear what you liked and disliked about this year's retreat.  I can't wait to see you improve it for next year ;)!

    -Ms. Doolin and Mr. Day received points (in the form of our class currency) because they brought hard copies of their opinions of Scholar Retreat 2017 to class!

8) Lastly, you were made aware of our reward system for class.  It involves paper money with your faces on it!  So get your homework done, respond to emails, give a great presentation, etc, and you will fill those wallets with your friends' faces!  This money will be used to purchase sundry items from our leadership store.  Good luck!  I want to have to print lots and lots of "money" this semester.

Mrs. Schmieder and I look forward to seeing you next week!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Poyer
