Mindset of the Month: Passion First
Our first house meetings were incredible! October's house meetings begin next week. Kindergarden-2nd grade house meetings are October 6th and 3rd-5th grade house meetings are October 13th.
Our mindset of the month is Passion First. Passion First teaches that each of us is a unique expression of human existence, and that our lives should be focused on finding our individual genius and sharing it with the world to the maximum extent possible. You will learn to make your dreams authentic, and they will give you the fuel to overcome the many obstacles you’ll face along the way.
