🎶 Starting the morning with the 7 Habits!🎶

Our 1st graders kicked off the day by proudly reciting the 7 Habits song! What a fun way to build leadership, community, and a positive mindset right from the start. We love seeing our Tigers putting the Leader in Me habits into action! 🐯✨

Who’s ready to be a leader today?

At our last Friday Assembly we celebrated filling up a letter on our schoolwide Brag Board! 🎉

Our students have been working hard to be safe, respectful, and responsible leaders and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate their success than with a GLOW PARTY! 🪩✨

Way to GLOW, Walnut Springs! 🌟 Keep filling those Brag Boards! 💛💙
