If You Give Ou​r Leaders a Project...
​See What They Can Do!

In September, Ms. Cho's 5th Grade Class, was given the challenge to create a project that would teach students about Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. Her student script writers; Bailey, Katie & Aryana synergized with other 5th Graders and produced this short film. This project wowed our students & faculty at our Habit 2 Assembly on September 28th and we wanted to share what our leaders can do with you!
