Adams Elementary to receive new look in preparation for Leader in Me event

Adams Elementary is getting redesigned following the incorporation of its new Leader in Me program, based on Stephen Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” On Jan. 28 during the last couple hours of school, community members and stakeholders will be invited to see how this program has been integrated into Adams Elementary. This allows students to showcase how they are incorporating the seven habits in their own lives, as well as show the school’s new look.

“The event is designed for parents and the community to learn about the Leader in Me program,” said Cari Bodily, a fifth-grade teacher and part of the school’s Leader in Me program.

The teachers plan to display the school’s mission statement and are currently deciding what to paint and what quotes should be put on the west entrance and some of the halls.

“Right now we’re in the process of getting paint and things to change up the way our school looks so it can reflect that we’re a leadership school,” said Jordan Anderson, a first-grade teacher, also part of the school’s Leader in Me program.

Anderson said they were changing what the school looks like so it becomes more of a leadership-creative environment.

“More will be decided once we have solidified what exactly is going to be put up,” Anderson said. “We have options that are under debate currently, however, no final decisions have been made.”
