Principal's Message
Hello Trojan Families,
I want to share our Leader In Me lesson for this week to encourage follow-up conversations at home. We will be discussing two important concepts: Circle of Influence and Transition Person. These lessons will help our students understand what they can control and the impact they can have on others.
In Leader In Me, a Transition Person is someone who plays a significant role in guiding and supporting individuals through changes or challenges. This person can be a teacher, mentor, relative, or friend who provides encouragement, wisdom, and a listening ear. They help others navigate transitions by offering insights, fostering resilience, and encouraging personal growth, ultimately empowering individuals to reach their full potential.
Our students will also learn how to develop the skills to become a Transition Person themselves, and we are dedicated to supporting them in this journey. Thank you for your continued support!
Warm regards,
Michael Abraham
Principal
Teacher of the Month & Difference Maker
