Leadership Day 2015 held at San Onofre School

CAMP PENDLETON – On March 20, San Onofre School hosted its very first Leadership Day, which is a step to becoming a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. The Leader in Me Lighthouse School title is awarded by Franklin Covey to honor the attainment of a well-rounded leadership model. Lighthouse Schools serve as models of leadership and mentors to other schools.

The student led Leadership Day consisted of '7 Habits' songs, skits, student speeches, technology demonstrations and school tours. The technology demonstrations highlighted BeeBots, Lego WeDo Robotics, iPad presentation projects, Cubelets, and Lego EV3 Robotics. Students from all grades, Preppie K to 8th grade, were showcased.

Student emcees Jack Joseph, a fifth grader, and Sophie Williams, an eighth grader, led the event from start to finish.

Guests were inspired to hear from students about how the '7 Habits' have influenced their lives. One student spoke about how she was proactive when her mom was expecting her baby brother. To help her mom, she "jumped into action" without being asked. She washed the dishes, took care of the dog, and helped clean the house. Another student shared about Habit 3: Put first things first. She makes sure that she doesn’t forget to feed her dog. "My dog and I agree that Habit 3 is very important!" The students definitely demonstrated Habit 6: Synergize, together is better!
