On Thursday December 1st, students and staff were excited to welcome back Mr. Peace for his Leadership: Passion 2 Purpose assembly. Mr. Peace’s program encouraged students to use their passions to positively impact the world. He shared that the sign of a true leader is shown through one’s character and how they truly want to be remembered. By placing an emphasis on people first and things second, the community will be taught what it means to lead by example through living lives devoted to building life-long relationships and doing what makes them come alive.
Key themes Mr. Peace shared throughout the program included:
- Focus on the necessity of making our relationships a priority (i.e., People 1st, things 2nd)
- Learn that true character is found when no one is watching (i.e., Your moral makeup)
- Examine how real leaders live to help the common good (i.e., Leaders live for others)
- Start the wheels turning for what makes you come alive (i.e., Your greatest passion)
- Begin with the end in mind to realize our purpose (i.e., What we’re called to do)
Mr. Peace ended his assembly with a special message. Fourth grade student Evelina Gluch shared the message from the assembly, “Everyone has an M on both their hands naturally with their creases. The M stands for Miracle because everyone is a miracle. If you look at it upside down it is a W which stands for Worthy, because everyone is worthy.” Thank you Mr. Peace for the positive impact you have on our Sharks!
