One very important thing is they sing a song that’s about the 7 habits and have taught everyone at Pathfinder how to sing the song too! We have learned we can't stomp our feet.

Leadership Socials

Leadership Socials

The reason we have Leadership Socials is because we have quality students that we vote for every month in our classrooms. We vote for them because they have been respectful to their peers and teachers. They have been doing their work and have been a leader.


At the October Leadership Social, the quality students saw a firetruck and got a lot of snacks. If you get chosen as a quality student you get to go to the lunch room and celebrate with other quality students. Quality students get chosen because they follow the 7 habits.
