We are becoming leaders within our school. The Leader in Me is a whole-school transformation model based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People® by Stephen Covey. The Leader in Me produces results such as higher academic achievement, fewer discipline problems, and increased engagement among teachers and parents. The Leader in Me is not an event and it's not a curriculum, it's ubiquitous leadership development-meaning everywhere and all the time.

We would love to have our parents and community help us reach our goal of becoming a Leader in Me school. Here are some ways you can support our efforts:

• Email Principal Dr. Brooke Brutto to learn more about our program or set up a tour of Ridgeview Elementary
• Donate to our cause through the Olathe Public Schools Foundation. Choose the Leader in Me Program on the pull-down menu.
• Share with us any grant or funding opportunities we should be aware of. 
• Visit The Leader in Me website to learn more about the program.
