Last Thursday we celebrated our achievements in learning the 7 Habits of Happy Kids with a convocation. It was seriously THE coolest thing we've done here in a long time. We tried to turn the control over to our little leaders as much as possible and we are so happy we did. First, Xavier and James (members of Leadership Forum lunch group) introduced the convocation to the entire school. I was like a proud mother hen watching them as they spoke into the microphone with confidence and authority. (I may or may not have had tears in my eyes). Read on to find out what else we did during the convocation and to see some photos of the kids in action.

After the introduction, we had the opportunity to be recorded for Wish TV 8 as their guests on the Wake Up Call! Two of our Leadership Lunch Forum kiddos, Marissa and Claire, had the honor of introducing, with the rest of the Forum and school participating as well! You can catch us live Monday, October 26th on Channel 8 between 6:40 – 7:10 a.m. I wasn't able to get a great photo, but here is one
We all synergized (Habit 6) to create a really fun video highlighting each of the habits. Click below to check it out.
We also introduced our Leadership Tickets, which you can see below. Students and staff can fill out one of these to nominate anyone in the building for showing leadership through one of our 7 habits. Nominees are recognized on the live announcements each morning. Check out our first nominees, who were recognized during the convocation!

The picture below is such a true example of how amazing Carmel Elementary is! I am so fortunate to work here and so fortunate that my daughter attends school here. I couldn't ask for a better place for us to spend our days.
P.S. Happy Friday, ya'll!
