On Oct. 26 we will be starting Habit #2 – Begin with the end in mind. CLICK HERE for a parent letter regarding habit 2. You can also view this PARENT GUIDE to Leader in Me.

It is important for students to share what they are learning about the habits. You can also watch this touching video called 80th Birthday regarding the importance of Beginning with the End in Mind.
