Week 3: 10 out of 10!!!

Congratulations to all our leadership book presenters on Thursday!  Ethan Day gave them all 10s!

They certainly did a great job.  Ethan Hellyer read a book that left us all a little boggled!  Thank you for sorting it out for us, Ethan.  I'm putting that book on my future read list.

Benjamin taught us about Lincoln's style of leadership which consisted of walking around!  Leadership is simply walking around, talking with people, gathering information!  Lincoln made it look so simple.

And Noah challenged us to do something hard!  I love that he enjoyed the book, Do Hard Things, so much, that he read the sequel.  I hope you have all been inspired by the books you read and the books others read!!  If you read one of the books that was recommended I will present you with a cool $5 bill of class cash.

We accomplished so much on Thursday.  Hannah did a great job wielding the gavel.

We discussed the levels of leadership.  Our class is definitely moving around from level 2-3.  Can we go higher?  YES WE CAN!

You have each been given assignments that will help you solidify your spots on our leadership levels.

Week 1: Love is in the air

What a great welcome back to FILA's second semester!!!

We've got a new room and a new classmate!  HUGE SCORE!

We started the semester with book presentations from Ethan Riggle and Taylor.  Ethan challenged us to put first things first and even drew a quadrant to help us figure out what is most important.

Taylor encouraged us to do hard things that people don't expect from us.

During our next class, we will hear book presentations from Tillie Blanchard and Paige Preece.

THIS WEEK IS A BIG WEEK FOR US!!  BE PREPARED!
