FOCUS

Empowering students to use their voices, serve others, and lead positive change within their school and community.

Why This Matters

Leadership isn't about having a title—it's about making a difference. This month encourages students to identify needs within their school, work together, and take action to improve their community.

GOALS

By the end of the month, students should:

  • Demonstrate leadership.

  • Work collaboratively.

  • Identify opportunities to serve.

  • Advocate for kindness and inclusion.
