Leadership Initiatives at Dudley...
Leadership Luncheons: Mrs. Newell is eating with students who are showing positive leadership qualities. They are eating delicious food on fancy china!
Caught Being a Leader Awards: We have changed our Character Captain Awards to
"Caught Being a Leader" Awards. Students are given this award if a teacher sees them acting like a leader!
Career Cafe: 4th and 5th grade students participate in Career Cafe, where local leaders come and speak to students about their job and the skills they need to be successful in the future.
Leader of the Week: Some teachers are picking "Leaders of the Week" in their classrooms. The Leader of the Week is a student that consistently follows the 7 habits.
Student Greeters: We are teaching all of our students how to look students and adults in the eye, give them a firm handshake, and say "good morning, how are you?"
Public Speaking: Students are beginning to write speeches and practice public speaking on the announcements and at school assemblies.
