MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
The holiday spirit is abounding at Kerby, and so is the student leadership! Through Leader in Me, we are already exploring amazing ways to empower students as leaders of their own learning and lives. The students who led our Wintersgiving Sing did an amazing job! Thank you Ava F and Madeline U! We have had students introduce our speakers at assemblies and greet guests while giving building tours, and we are only just beginning. I can't wait to see where our students take us.
On December 5th we will be gathering in our first "Leader Ships" to meet with our groups and discuss Habit 1: Be Proactive. Be sure to ask you child what they talked about and in what part of their lives they feel they can practice proactivity.
Sincerely,
Dr. Delgado
