National Back to School Month has been observed since the 1960s. The history of the celebration is based on the fact that the US school year has traditionally begun in the fall and ended in late spring. This school schedule was built in our agricultural society to accommodate the children of farmers, so they could help with planting and harvesting.

This process is so important on so many levels including qualifications for many programs, beyond the actual meals, for individual students, their school, and the district as a whole.

If you need weekend food support for your student(s) in the Thompson School District, please tell a teacher, principal, or counselor, or you can use this link to sign up for a KidsPak. There are no income or other eligibility requirements. The only information needed is your student’s name, school, grade and if they have a food allergy.

What is Leader in Me?

Leader in Me is a framework for schools to build a culture focused on leadership and success for every student. It has been successfully implemented in thousands of schools in the United States and many more all over the world. The Leader in Me began with The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People by Stephen Covey, which originally only applied to adults. Over time, these habits have been adapted for use in schools and with students. At Sarah Milner, the Leader in Me curriculum is taught 4 days a week for 15-20 minutes, but the principles are woven into the culture of the school.

The 7 habits are:

• Be proactive
• Begin with the end in mind
• Put first things first
• Think win-win
• Seek first to understand, then to be understood
• Synergize
• Sharpen the saw

Although Sarah Milner is still new to Leader in Me, we're already seeing positive changes every day. When asked about how Leader in Me has improved the school, students said:

"I like having more leadership opportunities."

"I like being able to communicate with each other better."

"I like the activities in the lessons."

"It has made us better people."

"It helps us grow character."

"It helps us learn life skills and respectful actions."

We have lots of fun things planned for this year to further our Leader in Me journey!
