Leaders on the Deck Habit #2 … Begin with the End in Mind

During the month of October, the faculty, staff, and students concentrated on Habit #2, Begin with the End in Mind. For the

students, Habit #2 means that they plan ahead and set goals. They do things that have meaning and make a difference. They

are an important part of their classroom and look for ways to be good citizens.

These young leaders were selected by their homeroom teachers for their leadership skills and commendable actions. We are

very proud to recognize the students pictured as true Leaders on the Deck for Habit #2.

Community Volunteerism

During the holiday season, many families look for ways to help others in need. If your family’s time is limited, consider just one or

two projects a year and make them a family tradition (for example, making and donating gift baskets to care facilities for the

elderly around the holidays).

What can children learn from volunteering?

A sense of responsibility—children learn about commitment, to be on time, do their best, and be proud of the results.

One person, one family can make a difference—children learn that they and their family can have an impact on someone or

something else.

The benefit of sacrifice—children learn that there are important things besides themselves.

Cooperation and unity—children learn that working together as a family can unite the family and that two heads are better

than one.

Job skills—children learn about fields that may help them decide on future careers.

How to fill idle time wisely—children learn to use time to help others.

Ultimately, children learn that we're all responsible for the well-being of our communities. Whatever community service you

choose, your community and your family will benefit.

Illness Reminder:

We need your help to reduce the spread of germs! By working together and taking precautions, we can

help to minimize the impact of any illness that can be spread to others.

Please be reminded of the following:

Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds.

Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick.

Disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick.

Stay home when feeling sick, and obtain consultation from your health care provider.

Keep sick children at home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have vomiting or diarrhea.

Sick children should stay home until 24 hours after they are fever free without the use of fever-reducing

medicines.

Cover your cough/sneeze. It is best to cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your

hands. If you cough/sneeze in your hands or in a tissue, make sure you wash your hands afterwards.

These everyday steps are a good way to reduce your chances of getting the flu. However, a yearly flu

vaccine is the best protection against flu illness.
