At our last meeting with our SDPD Juvenile Services Officer, our Safety Patrol brought up many concerns that lead to student safety. Our Safety Patrol needs your help with the following:

• Please stop when our Safety Officers have the stop sign down! This indicates that families are crossing.
• Please do not drop off students in red zones.
• Please "NO" u-turns in the parking lot entry.
• Families please wait until our Safety Officers lower their stop signs before crossing. Be Patient!
• Please respect the "3-minute" drop-off zone!
• Please cross at the crosswalk!

Thank you for helping our Safety Patrol keep our students safe!

Our next Leader in Me focus is Habit 8: Find Your Voice, and Inspire Others to Find Theirs. Our next awards assembly on May 23rd we will recognize students who exhibit this habit of contribution.

People who have found their voice focus on expanding their circle of influence, being trustworthy, building trust, blending the voices of others, and creating a common vision. They align goals and systems and empower others.

Great achievers express their voice by developing their vision, discipline, passion, and conscience. They recognize, respect and create meaningful opportunities for others to express their voices.

Kid Language

I have found something that I am good at and really like doing. I am proud but do not boast. Instead, I use my expertise to help and inspire others.

Ways to Practice Find Your Voice

• Try something new like painting, horseback riding, or baseball. Then ask yourself: Did I enjoy myself? Was it easy or hard? Do I want to learn more?
• Go to the library or search the internet to find reading material on new things. What kinds of things spark your interest? What do you want to continue learning about?
• Plan some time to help someone in need. How did the experience make you feel?
