\"\"G. Weaver Hipps Elem is one of more than 20 in Lee County to embrace the \u201cLeader in Me\u201d movement, which school Principal Aida Saldivar emphasized is not a curriculum.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeader in Me\u201d is based on the principles of Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People,\u201d and it promotes the habits in a kid-friendly format.<\/p>\n

Be proactive<\/p>\n

Begin with the end in mind<\/p>\n

Put first things first<\/p>\n

Think win-win<\/p>\n

Seek first to understand, then to be understood<\/p>\n

Synergize<\/p>\n

Sharpen the saw<\/p>\n

Worldwide, there are 2,770 schools working with the \u201cLeader in Me\u201d program, including at least 19 traditional public or charter schools in Lee County. The Covey Foundation reports that 241 schools across the globe have reached Lighthouse designation, meaning they are model schools.<\/p>\n

Two Lee schools have reached Lighthouse level \u2014 Skyline Elementary in Cape Coral and San Carlos Park Elementary in\u00a0Fort Myers.<\/p>\n

Principal Saldivar, who is in her second year at G. Weaver Hipps, came from San Carlos Park. Seeing the opportunity to bring another school to the fold, she tested the waters at the Lehigh School last year.<\/p>\n

Next year, the school will put together a team of students to help reach this goal.\u00a0In the coming weeks, students will host a parent education night at the school, in which they will help introduce and teach their moms and dads about the program.<\/p>\n

While it will be a long process, Principal Saldivar is looking forward to the challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prize is in the process,\u201d she said, \u201cnot in the end result.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
