The primary goal of this project is to motivate and encourage 5th grade students to grow as leaders by recognizing their efforts and progress through Leader in Me celebrations. By celebrating leadership habits, academic growth, and positive behavior, we aim to build confidence, character, and a strong classroom culture rooted in personal responsibility and mutual respect.
School-Wide, Grade-Level, Or Class Events/Programs - Parent Nights, Honor Roll Celebrations, EOY Events, PBIS, LIM, etc.
Leader in Me is a whole-school leadership and character-building program that empowers students to take ownership of their learning and behavior. As a 5th grade class, we are working to fully implement and practice the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Kids by incorporating leadership opportunities, goal-setting, and reflective practices into our daily routine.
However, to sustain excitement and engagement, we have daily, weekly, and monthly celebrations that reward students for showing leadership in various ways — academically, socially, and personally.
With grant funding, we will:
*I will be able to recognize students' academic growth, leadership habits, and positive behaviors
*Provide small prizes as immediate rewards for those behaviors (bracelets, fidget toys, etc.)
*Maintain a Leadership Showcase (bulletin board) to publicly honor student progress with fun certificates
Celebrations will be inclusive, focusing not just on academic achievement but also on kindness, responsibility, creativity, and teamwork — helping every student find a way to shine.
By the end of the school year, we expect to see:
*Increased student motivation and enthusiasm for school and learning
*Improved classroom behavior as students take greater ownership of their choices
*Stronger leadership habits, such as goal-setting, time management, and collaboration
*Positive peer relationships through a supportive and encouraging classroom culture
*Family engagement through recognition events (open house, leadership day)
Grant funds will be used to purchase materials for recognition and leadership incentives. These celebrations will help create a positive, engaging learning environment where students feel valued, empowered, and inspired to become leaders in both school and life.
