Dear Lloyd Road Parent(s)/Guardians:

As we approach the end of the school year, we would like to share with you some of the valuable lessons your children have been learning in class about Leadership.

In the next few weeks, we will explore what it means to be a leader—both in and out of the classroom. Through engaging discussions, hands-on activities, and real-life examples, students will discover that leadership is not just about being in charge; it’s about making positive choices, being kind, and helping others succeed.

Some of the leadership traits we focused on included:

• Respect – Treating others the way we want to be treated.
  
  

• Responsibility – Owning our actions and doing our best, even when no one is watching.
  
  

• Kindness – Leading with a caring attitude and including others
  
  

• Perseverance – Trying again when things are hard and encouraging others to do the same.
  
  

• Teamwork – Working together and listening to everyone's ideas.

• Students will recognize that they can be leaders in their own unique ways—by helping a friend, setting a good example, or standing up for what’s right. We also talked about how it is important time to practice these skills, especially as they prepare to become role models for the younger students.

• It’s been wonderful to see the growth in their confidence and sense of responsibility. The Character Education lessons have helped build a strong classroom community and have encouraged students to think about how they can contribute positively to their school, families, and beyond.

Thank you for your continued support. I’m so proud of everything our Lloyd Road students have accomplished and look forward to seeing the leaders they continue to become

Thank you again for your continued support  :)
