This Week's Hallway Huddle Quote & Activities
“I have short goals- to get better everyday, to help my team mates everyday. My only ultimate goal is to win a NBA Championship”
Lebron James
- Discuss the difference between personal goals and Wildly Important Goals (WIGS).
- What were Lebron’s personal goals, what was his WIG.
- Why was it important for Lebron to begin with the end in mind? Do you think he created an action plan to reach his WIG? Why?
- Did Lebron reach his WIG? (yes 2 times!) Do you still think he is setting goals?
- How can we relate his goal setting and determination to our goal setting?
- Did Lebron have to synergize to reach his goal?

2015-2016 Enrollment
- We have 124 students who have committed to enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year as of June 6, 2015.
- Current numbers per grade level are: Kindergarten (14), First Grade (24), Second Grade (22), Third Grade (25), Fourth Grade (18), and Fifth Grade (21).
- We have a total of 58 students on the waitlist. These students will be the next level of applicants to be offered enrollment as we receive declined enrollment offers. The majority of our waitlist applicants are Kindergarten.
- We receive approximately 5-6 new applicants weekly.
The goal enrollment per classroom is 25 students for grades, K-3 and 20 students for grades 4-5. This will total 140 students. While we are being proactive and accounting for no-shows we should be able to reach our goal of a firm 125 students Days 1-20.
A 7 Habits Weekly Booster...
The little kindnesses and courtesies are so important. Small discourtesies, little unkindnesses, little forms of disrespect make large withdrawals. In relationships, the little things are the big things.
