We are so proud of this small but mighty group of students! 💙

By working together and putting their Leader in Me habits into action, these students collaborated, problem-solved, and took initiative to put together a table for our FRYSC. Their teamwork, responsibility, and desire to serve others truly reflect what it means to be leaders at Highland Elementary.

A big shout out to some of our 5th grade students who helped us complete a project in the library today! We are blessed to have leaders like them who are always willing to pitch in and help better our school. We are so excited for our Kindergarten and 1st grade readers to be able to use our new book browsing bin when they visit the library!
