Welcome, Ms. Reyer! #celebrate379

For the past two days, USD 379 teachers, paras, aides, secretaries, and custodians have been involved in the district-wide implementation of The Leader in Me, a whole-school transformation process developed by FranklinCovey Education.
The program has been used at 379 schools in the past, but it has never been a full district initiative until now. It focuses on teaching social-emotional and leadership skills, including communication, goal setting, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. This program has shown the ability to:
1. Increase Student Leadership & Academic Performance: Studies show that Leader in Me schools show increased student leadership and academic performance, including significant gains in subjects like ELA and math.
2. Improve School Culture: The program promotes a positive school environment by emphasizing respect, collaboration, and student voice, leading to higher teacher satisfaction, fewer discipline incidents, and better student attendance.
3. Empower Educators & Families: Leader in Me also equips educators with transformational leadership skills and provides resources to involve families in their children's learning.
379 families will see much more information in the coming months with this program. We are excited to see how it helps our students, staff, and schools! #celebrate379

USD 379 would like to say THANK YOU to our amazing community for working with our high school interns this year! We appreciate your willingness to help guide our seniors and give them real-world experiences before they leave USD 379. The lessons learned and experiences gained are so powerful for our students, and we are incredibly thankful to be part of such a supportive community! Here are our 2nd semester interns and their work-based learning placements. #celebrate379

Mrs. Blackburn's Junior English class attended “Aunt Alexandra’s Missionary Tea” yesterday as a hands-on character analysis of their selected parts from Harper Lee’s "To Kill a Mockingbird". They dressed up, brought southern dishes, evaluated their characters, and conversed about the fictional trial that rocked Maycomb County and our nation. They will complete their unit with an essay test final later in the week. #celebrate379

The 3rd & 8th grade buddy teams took their learning beyond the classroom last Friday—with a local adventure full of money tips, business smarts, and… 🍦ice cream!
First stop: Riley State Bank! 💰 Josh Martin shared how to start a business and why saving money is a big deal.
Then it was off to The Bomber Grind, where Neal Summerson gave students a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a local business. He even sent everyone off with an ice cream treat.
Huge thanks to these amazing community partners for making economics and life skills come alive. Wakefield is lucky to have you! 💙 #celebrate379
