FAC Weekly Update

Good afternoon, Fine Arts Center Family
We hope that you have had a wonderful week, and that the coming long weekend is enjoyable for you and your family! Here is the latest from the halls of the Fine Arts Center...
This Week's Student Leadership Lesson
How to Gain Influence (part 2)
10 Ways an Influencer Gains Influence
6. An influencer enlarges people. How do you grow an organization? You grow people. How do you grow people? You grow yourself.
7. An influencer navigates for people. "The man who goes alone can start the day. But he who travels with another must wait until the other is ready." - Henry David Thoreau
8. An influencer connects with people. "The easiest kind of relationship for me is with 10,000; the hardest is with one." - Joan Baez
9. An influencer empowers people. "No matter how much work you can do, no matter how engaging your personality may be, you will not advance far in business if you cannot work through others." - John Craig
Enlarging people deals with their individual growth.
Empowering people deals with the organizational growth.
10. An influencer reproduces other people.
When you influence a child, you influence a life.
When you influence a parent, you influence a family.
When you influence a worker, you influence the company.
When you influence a leader, you influence everyone who looks to him or her for leadership.

REMINDERS
REMINDER - From the FAC Parent Guild
FAC Friends and Families,
We are approaching our goal for Teacher Appreciation Week, but still need your help. Our goal is to end the week with our teachers knowing that we invest in them as much as they have invested in our students – that their hard work and dedication is noticed and very much appreciated.
If you’ve already been able to donate – THANK YOU! And if you haven’t, there’s still time. You can send a check to the office (made payable to FAC Parent Guild), or visit the Sign Up Genius FAC Events: 2022 FAC Faculty & Staff Appreciation Week AND Graduation (signupgenius.com) to contribute to these events.
Thanks!
