Leader
In
Me
This year at Signal Hill, we are continuing a program called Leader In Me. Leader In Me is an evidence-based, comprehensive-school improvement model-developed in partnership with educators-that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. Instead of focusing on academic measures alone, Leader in Me embodies a holistic approach to education, redefining how schools measure success. This approach empowers educators with effective practices and tools to:- teach LEADERSHIP to every student,
- create a CULTURE of student empowerment,
- and align systems to drive results in ACADEMICS.

The
school
counseling
program
at
Signal
Hill
will
align
with
7
habits
associated
with
Leader
In
Me!
The
7
habits
are:
- Habit 1: Be Proactive
- Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
- Habit 3: Put First Things First
- Habit 4: Think Win-Win
- Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
- Habit 6: Synergize
- Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
As we continue our own learning about the 7 Habits we will continue to provide useful information that you can use with your students at home! In addition to talking with your student about Leader In Me, feel free to look at their website for more information https://www.leaderinme.org/

Hunger
doesn't
end
on
Friday.
ForK
is
dedicated
to
helping
families
fill
the
weekend
gap
when
in-school
meals
are
not
available
by
providing
healthy,
nourishing
foods
on
a
weekly
basis.

ForK
was
founded
in
Manassas,
Virginia
to
help
schools
reach
local
children
who
do
not
have
enough
to
eat
on
the
weekend.
We
deliver
food
items
to
participating
schools
and,
each
Friday,
teachers
or
counselors
discretely
place
that
food
in
the
backpacks
of
children
who
need
it.
Every
effort
is
made
to
ensure
that
the
program
is
operated
in
a
manner
that
promotes
respect
for
the
children
and
families
served.
We
work
closely
with
local
schools
to
reach
the
children
and
families
in
greatest
need.
Targeted
schools
are
either
not
currently
serviced
by
other
weekend
food
organizations,
overlooked
because
of
the
overall
socio-economic
status
of
the
area
around
the
school,
or
in
need
of
greater
assistance.
Donate
Just
$5
per
week
provides
a
child
with
nourishing
food
for
the
weekend.
A
donation
of
$260
will
feed
a
local
child
every
weekend
for
a
year.
