The Leader in Me

---

Even at a young age, we have an opportunity to start talking about the critical "soft skills" in life. Students will have the opportunity to learn about important skills such as empathy, communication, self-awareness, and self-reflection that will support them in life and give them a "leg up" when put in a situation where they may become leader.
