This container holds our leader highlight tickets for the entire school. Each week we collect all of our leader highlights and place them in a plastic egg. The eggs are added to our school wide container. Once the container is full, we will have a school celebration. So far there are over 1000 eggs, which means 1000 leadership highlights. Keep being awesome and leading! Thank you Brandon Hummel for building the container for us! #vanfarelementary #wearefamily #leaderhighlights #inthespotlight #LeaderInMe #leadership #7habits
