The Siegrist Star
Week of October 2 , 2023
On Wednesday, September 27, Siegrist had their first LEAD Day and Student Led Assembly. Once a month on LEAD Days, students spend about 1.5 hours working on hands-on projects, exploring new topics, or experiencing something that they are passionate about. Many students have experienced or have been introduced to the 7 Leader in Me Habits, but recently an 8th habit was introduced. The 8th habit is "Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs." Voice is code for "unique personal significance." Those who inspire others to find theirs are the leaders needed now and for the future, according to Stephen R. Covey, author of the many books including the 8th Habit.
In the afternoon we had a school assembly. Student leaders spoke and recognized our leadership awards for September; Golden Trophy Awards; Bus, Car, and Y Club leaders for September; and then it was game time!
Many pictures were taken by the yearbook team and teachers. Please see more pictures on our Facebook page.
