Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Elementary started its Leader in Me program in the fall of 2016, built around the Seven Habits, and students began putting the first one, be proactive, into practice right away.
The Announcements Action Team worked on making morning announcements more useful and more interesting for the whole school. Members included Shanda Staples, Lynzie Sturgeon, Elizabeth Hodson, Diego Gonzales, Noah Ramos, Nick Sisson and Ella Tew.
Leader in Me gives students real jobs around the building. The idea is that kids learn leadership by doing it rather than hearing about it.
