Hello Brave Community!  Happy Friday! Today was an amazing day filled with tons of teaching and learning. We ended our day with the excitement of Brave Hour!  Students were gardening, creating visual art, planning a stage play, playing checkers/chess and so much more. During Brave Hour every student must have a purpose. Consider asking your student how he or she spent Brave Hour, and more specifically what his or her purpose was today. I think you might be pleasantly surprised with the response you receive from your BRAVE leader.  As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People each month.  Our habit of the month for March is Habit 6: Synergize!   We teach our students the importance and benefit of teamwork.

  Hello Brave Community!  Happy Tuesday! I hope that you all had a delightful and restful Thanksgiving Break! I enjoyed time with my family, as well as some really tasty food! I am also enjoying the cooler weather. On that note, please accept my reminder to send your child to school each day that it is cold or even cool outside with a coat or jacket.  If your child does not own a coat or a jacket and you need our help providing one, please contact our lead counselor at clarissa_hollenshead@roundrockisd.org. As a Leader in Me campus, we highlight one of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People each month.  Our habit of the month for November is Habit 3: Put First Things First!   We teach our students to prioritize and spend time on things that are most important. Word of the Week (WOW): This week’s word is “ ESTIMATE" .   It is a verb that means to roughly calculate .  Ask your student to use the word in a sentence, or perhaps you could be very intentional in your use of our wo
