Healthy Goals....
Fuel for the Future is the theme for National Nutrition Month 2023. This year's theme wants to give the importance of fueling our bodies and eating with sustainability in mind. Sustainable eating is choosing foods that are helpful for the planet and our bodies.
Here are some websites children and parents can visit that can help with nutrition:
Leader in Me News
We know that we are better together when we synergize. Synergy is the manifestation of all the other habits working together. When we synergize, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When our students synergize, they are applying consideration, active listening, and problem solving skills.
Consider these questions as you reflect on Habit 6:
~When am I most likely to settle for compromise? In which relationships or situations do I regularly experience synergy? What's the difference?
~How can I learn the unique strengths of the people I work and live with? In which relationships do I tolerate differences rather than value them?
