The focus this month: Private Victories

The habits are timeless principals practiced by individuals who have been successful in business, education, relationships and life.  I hope that each week you are taking the time to read the Leader in Me boosters in the Bullock Brief.  We must start within ourselves to impact change in our students. What a worthwhile endeavor!

The private victories are about the first three habits.
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. Put first things first

SIT Team:  The  SIT team will meet on Monday, October 24th at 2:45pm in the Platform. 

Q1 Testing:  We will have Q1 testing this week. Our testing guru, Ms. Perrell, has prepared a thorough testing plan as always to make sure things run smoothly.  The plan was shared over email and can also be found here.
