The main focus of 7th grade leadership is developing a strong understanding of character; this is the basis for personal growth and leadership! There will also be team-building opportunities, self-reflection, and creative expression integrated throughout everything we do. All of this will be in preparation for you to continue in leadership throughout your time at Olympic Middle School.

Weekly schedule
On Mindset Monday, we will complete a lesson from Building Everyday Leadership. This lesson will set the tone for the rest of our week, and push us to think differently about leadership.
On Teamwork Tuesday, we will complete a challenge with out groups. This challenge will require many minds working together, and everyone's unique strengths. We will also spend time self-reflecting on our role in the group challenge.
On Work Hard Wednesday, we will learn about and discuss an essential character strength that is imperative to us being successful leaders. Strengths include commitment, kindness, respect, patience, honesty, selflessness, forgiveness, and humility.
On Thoughtful Thursday, we will further our knowledge of that week's character strength, and engage with the topic through various activities.
On Flex Friday, we will flex our knowledge from that week via written or artistic expression. We will also have the flexibility to engage in fun activities when the whole group has finished their work.
