Our Student Leaders are Finding their Voice!

Cooper leaders have had some exciting opportunities in the past couple of weeks.  First, Webster Elementary invited us to speak with their students about how Cooper students live the 7 Habits.  The Webster Wildcats have been learning about the 7 Habits and their principal, Mrs. Boka, felt that they really needed to hear from fellow students how living the 7 Habits could positively impact their lives.  We took six Cooper students from our Student Lighthouse Team and PTA Leaders.  They did a wonderful job!  

Also, today we had a surprise visit from the Livonia Public Schools Communication Department.  They are putting together a video to demonstrate the positive school environments across Livonia.  Six Cooper students were asked to speak on camera about their school experiences.  They were asked questions such as, "Describe your favorite teacher and what makes them your favorite, What is your favorite part of your day?, and How has being at at Leader in Me school changed your life?"

Once again, our students were poised, confident, and sincere.  They spoke highly about the role leadership and the 7 Habits play in their lives, their positive learning experiences, strong peer relationships, and the impact great teachers have had in creating engaging, positive, joyful school experiences. As Martina said, "Cooper is like a bagel and the cream cheese is the Leader in Me!"  Way to go Cooper Leaders!

Honoring Mrs. Schnettler

When Mrs. Schnettler, one of our Physical Education teachers, died last December, Cooper students and staff wrote their thoughts and memories of Mrs. Schnettler on pink pieces of paper. The pieces of paper were made into paper chains and placed in Cooper's front hallway in Mrs. Schnettler's honor.  

What ever happened to the paper chains?  Jolene and Zoey synergized by carefully taking each link of the chains apart, and placing them into gift boxes.  Hundreds of slips of paper were sent to Mrs. Schnettler's children this Christmas in loving memory of their mom.  We will invite Mrs. Schnettler's children to come and walk the track that was constructed in her memory with Cooper staff and students this spring.
