🌟 Understanding Others is the key to great leadership! 🌟
Today, we learned that leaders take time to listen, care, and think about how others feel. 💬💛
When we practice empathy, we become better teammates, friends, and problem-solvers.
Let’s Level Up by showing kindness through understanding, every day!

Mrs. Siegel’s class practiced teamwork through the Spaghetti STEM Challenge. Students built their structures twice—after the first attempt, they reflected on what went well, what needed improvement, and how to be productive collaborators. Using their new strategies, they made adjustments and worked together more effectively during the second round.
Student Spotlight: Coleman
Coleman is recognized for pausing his own work to help a classmate finish their task. He consistently shows kindness and compassion, and demonstrated the BCPS Graduate Profile skills of being an Effective Communicator and a Self-Directed Navigator as he guided and supported his peer.

🌟 Leadership Starts with Me! 🌟
Today we learned that great leaders take responsibility for their actions and choices. 💪
When we own our behavior, show respect to our coaches and teachers, and stay open to learning, we LEVEL UP our leadership! It’s not always easy to lead, but it always starts with us. Let’s choose to lead with integrity every day!
