On Monday, September 12th, 2016, Barnett Elementary hosted "The Great Leader-In-Me Kickoff". This event was designed to help parents and families learn more about the Leader-In-Me. This is Barnett's inaugural year as a Leader-In-Me school. The Leader-In-Me helps students to implement Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People into their lives.

 Families were greeted by students as they entered the school. Adults were then directed to the informational meeting. During these meeting, parents were treated to musical numbers by our 3rd graders and learned about the 7 Habits from student leaders. The Leader-In-Me program places special emphasis on having students be leaders by being involved in the school. This meeting was even directed by a 6th grader, Paige Pierre.

While their families learned more about the Leader-In-Me program, students performed various service projects throughout the school. Service projects included writing letters and cards, putting together phonics kits, cleaning the school grounds, and reading to younger students. After the parent meeting was finished and the service projects completed, the two groups met up for delicious ice cream and mingling! What a great kickoff!
