Leader Profile:
This week’s Leader Profile attribute is SOCIAL AWARENESS. When you are ready to lead, you have the ability to understand others’ emotions and meet the needs and concerns of others around you. You think about how your words and actions will affect others. You take the time to notice how others are feeling. By doing these things, you are using the leader attribute, Social Awareness.
This weeks “I will” statement: “I will be more social aware by thinking before I speak to ensure I do not hurt anyone else’s feelings.”
Staff Member and Teacher of the Month:
Whitney Williams is our October staff member of the month. Mrs. Williams has been with Life School for seven years. She began by teaching Math with our 4th grade team. Last year Whitney moved to our Cedar Hill campus as a Math Specialist and this year moved back to LSRO to continue working with teachers as the Instructional Specialist.
Mrs. Williams and her husband have three beautiful daughters. We are so excited to have you back at home with us at LSRO, Mrs. Williams!!
We are so thrilled for Lindsey Brister to be our Teacher of the Month for October. Ms. Brister has been with LSRO for 7 years. She worked diligently as an instructional aide for 5 years, and is in her 2nd year as a 1st grade teacher. She enjoys running and cycling. Ms. Brister recently completed 25 miles in the Texas Mamma Jamma Ride to support the fight against breast cancer. Ms. Brister moved to Texas from Washington in 2006, and we are so glad she did! We are so thankful to see how Ms. Brister strives for excellence and her leadership on our campus.
