SEPTEMBER: LEADERSHIPLeadership is the action of guiding

or directing a group.As a leader you set a good example, lead others, and you are also a good

follower. 

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and

become more, you are a leader.”

John Quincy Adams, 6th U.S. President

• Leadership of the moment. You take charge in a crisis.

• Leadership by example. You set a good example in your family, with your friends, or anywhere else. This is a wonderful type of leadership, because you become the ruler or yardstick by which other people measure themselves. You’re an inspiration.

• Community Leadership. You take on a leadership role in a club or organization.

• Job leadership. You direct others, organizing their work and activities.

• Trail-blazing leadership. You walk into unexplored territory and create a path for others to follow.

LIBRARY NEWS!

The Sellwood Library will be open for students during lunch during some days of

the week. Right now the plan is to be open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and the occasional

Tuesday. The library can be used to do schoolwork, read, play non-electronic games,

and socialize using indoor behavior. If you want to come to the library, you will need to

get a library pass from Miss Paula in the cafeteria. When you come to the library, drop off your pass and sign in. You are expected to be safe, respectful, and responsible in the

library, and stay until the end of recess.
