Manor Elementary students showcase 'Leader in Me' program at Monroe Board meeting
Summary
Manor Elementary Principal Bridal Taylinda and sixth‑grade students described the school's decade‑long 'Leader in Me' program, its seven habits and lighthouse recognition; students said the curriculum boosts engagement and supports student leadership.
Principal Bridal Taylinda presented Manor Elementary's Leader in Me program and introduced sixth‑grade students who described how the curriculum guides goal‑setting and leadership. "The Leader in Me program empowers students to become leaders in every aspect of life," student Hayden Cox said during the presentation. The speaker team noted Manor became a Leader in Me school in 2014 and achieved lighthouse status in 2017.
Taylinda told the board the program uses posters, student lighthouse teams, student‑led assemblies and student‑led conferences to reinforce seven habits, from "be proactive" to "sharpen the saw." Students described concrete classroom practices—buddy classes, student‑run assemblies and a point‑based Kickboard store—that school staff say increase daily attendance and engagement. Board members thanked the students and staff for the presentation and for involving community members in last year's 10‑year celebration.
