School

Every month, the school focuses on one of the seven habits.

Fulmer said the school has “leader-ized” everything the school does.

“We noticed before, we didn’t have enough opportunities for our students to shine,” she said. “When you give them the chance to shine, they love it, they embrace it and they want to be here.”

Instead of having classroom jobs, each class has classroom leaders or rather than having clubs, there are leadership clubs.

“We’ve changed everything to have that focus on leadership,” she said.

For example, students wanted to help their classmates with math, so they created Math Mania, a group of students who put grade appropriate math problems around the school for students to submit their answers. They choose winners and award prizes.

Fulmer said the leadership projects in every grade and class are studentled. Stacy Freeman’s third grade class chose to collect supplies to send to a refugee camp this year.
