Third Grade Leaders
Calendar
November
Current Resident
I
t's never too early to start
developing the heart of a
leader.
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
