Every quarter, two students from each of the five third- grade classes at Brooklyn Primary are nominated for Third Grade Leadership. The group is led by Teresa Sullivan, Britta Yates, and Megan McGuinness. Stu- dents stay for an extra hour after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays to complete projects, such as updating the school reader board with an inspirational quote. They also set up lunch for first grade, give Monday morning announcements, clean school grounds, lead assemblies, create bulletin boards, and deliver Backpack Program food bags. Sullivan asked her first- quarter leaders to explain, in their own words, what leadership means: Leaders are chosen because they consistently show that they are kind, responsible, respectful and safe. They are interested in do- ing things that support or improve the school, as well as the community. This year, Brooklyn is focusing on kindness. Third Grade Leaders were asked to interview another student and ask what that student thought kindness meant or looked like. These are the answers: Ainsley in Mrs. Rober- ston's class said: "You don't throw stuff." -Avery Mason in 2nd grade said: "Help people out." -Jeremiah Bradley in Miss Brown's class said: "To be nice to someone." -Cora Max in Miss Brown's class said: "Help someone when they fall down." -Clancey Welker in Miss Colvin's class said: "You are not being mean to people." -Mason CJ in Mrs. Stephen's class said: "You're helping people on stuff." -Haddie One project of the third grade leadership program is to choose inspirational quotes for the reader board outside of Brooklyn Primary School. Romyn in Mrs. Welter's class said: "Be grateful, respectful and respon- sible." -Parker Gehrig in Miss Colvin's class said: "Just be nice and don't be mean. Just wave and smile." -Jocelyn Tessa in Ms. Clausnitzer's class said: "Don't bully people." -Romie
