Wrapping up October

WOW, tomorrow is already the last day of October! What a great month it's been for our Wildwood Leaders! This month we celebrated the first habit: Be Proactive. We had a whole school assembly led by Ms. Martin and Mrs. Piwko. There was a fun sing along and several special guests including Mrs. Lochrie (Executive Director of State/Federal Programs for Wayne-Westland), Mrs. Nadolski and her daughter, and Samantha from Ms. Martin's class spoke. Each special guest shared with us how they are proactive! Our next assembly will feature Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. We have been working on this habit all month and it's great to see all of the students, staff, and families embracing this habit. One parent shared with me her plan. Her and her daughter knew when her daughter's book report was due. They started with that date in mind and divided the chapters and days to work on the report into each day during the month so that the report would be finished on time. What a great plan!! What would a Leader in Me school be without a leader of the leaders? This month we welcomed our new principal, Mrs. Mullins! Mrs. Mullins has worked in Wayne-Westland for eight years. She spent the majority of her career at Elliott Elementary as a classroom teacher before starting this school year as an Intervention Specialist at Schweitzer Elementary. She was also the K-5 Social Studies Content Leader. We are super excited to welcome Mrs. Mullins and we know she will be a great fit for Wildwood :) To end October strong Wildwood sent three of its Lighthouse Team members to a special training last week to become certified 7 Habits facilitators. Congratulations to Mrs. Craig, Ms. Martin, and Mrs. Rutherford for becoming certified trainers! A special thank you to Ms. Munson (Executive Director of School Improvement and Innovation) for setting up and inviting us to this special training! October was a busy month. However, if you thought October was great, wait until next month!! :)
