This will include continued personal development, team-building, self-reflection, and service. All of this will be the culmination of your experience in leadership at Olympic Middle School.

Weekly schedule
On Mindset Monday, we will have the opportunity to cultivate a productive mindset for the week by planning things out, discussing ideas, and creating our classroom community.
On Teamwork Tuesday, we will alternate between completing a teamwork challenge with out groups, and completing personality inventories. The challenges will require many unique identities working together, and the personality inventories will help us gain a better understanding of who we are. We will also spend time self-reflecting.
On Work Hard Wednesday, we will break into our committees and work on completing various projects around the school. Committees include activities, service, unity, media, and publicity.
On Thoughtful Thursday, we will continue our projects from the day before, and be mindful of our progress towards completing our goals.
On Flex Friday, we will reflect on our week via written expression. We will also have the flexibility to complete unfinished tasks and engage in group activities.
