Mission, Texas- Alton Elementary School is taking advantage of a special grant to help encourage all the students at the campus to become leaders. Alton Elementary is one of 140 schools selected out of 240 applicants, internationally, to earn a grant from the I am a Leader Foundation, funded by Panda Express.
The grant is funded for three years which allows schools to fully develop staff, students, and their community in the 7 Habits of Happy Kids through a process called The Leader in Me by Franklin Covey.
Principal Adan Ramirez said this will allow them to teach 21st century leadership and life skills to their students while also creating a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.
Pictured are staff members during a recent training on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Those include: Be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand then to be Understood, Synergize and Habit, Sharpen the Saw.
