Our First Leadership Rally Of The Year!

And the best part? It was completely led by our Student Lighthouse Team! Our student leaders took the stage and showed us exactly what it means to Lead. Grow. Serve.

They invited some of our 1st and 2nd grade leaders to help with the pledges and dance party (they chose Dolly Parton- “Workin’ 9:00-5:00), shared our campus WIGs (Wildly Important Goals), and celebrated all the great things happening at East!

Our Campus WIGs:

• Maintain a 96% campus attendance average throughout the school year

• Have 80% of students reading on or above grade level

We celebrated grade levels for:

• Cleanest bathrooms

• Best cafeteria behavior & cleanliness

• Best library behavior

• Fine Arts Award

• Best attendance for August

Our leaders also introduced our September Habit of the Month: Habit 1 — Be Proactive! You are in charge of YOU!

Our Leadership Action Team shared about two upcoming service projects- collecting cans for a local Hallsville resident and collecting tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.

We were also excited to welcome the Boy Scouts, who stopped by to share a special message with our students and made it even better by inviting some of our very own East Boy Scouts to join them!

And because no East rally is complete without a little friendly competition…the STAFF took the field for a soccer game!

There was dancing, cheering, celebrating, serving, goal-setting, and SO much fun- but most importantly, our students were the ones leading it all.

This is what student leadership looks like.

At East, we aren’t just teaching leadership- we’re giving our students opportunities to LIVE it!
