Yesterday's S2S club members discussed who our role models are, and how each of us are role models in our daily lives. We did an activity to find what areas of leadership we are strong, and what areas of leadership we could grow. Our students were honest and thoughtful while moving through the scale of 'where I can grow' to 'where I am strong'. At the end they picked an area which they can grow and and wrote it anonymously on a post it. These will be displayed for our S2S members as a reminder to continue to step out of our comfort zone to grow as better leaders.
Dads, you brought your big hearts with you today and your love was very evident! It was a great day in PE, and thank you for the memories!
February Family Fun Day
