These 5th grade teachers announce Leaders of the Month who demonstrate skills that lead to Beginning with the End in Mind! Proud to be a part of this @SandCreekInt community! ❤️🦈
Empowered learning at its finest! 👏
When students have time to pause, think, reflect, and then collaborate, high levels of thinking occur and it’s a win-win for all! @SandCreekInt

@SandCreekInt we want students, staff, and families to be aware of our school improvement goals. Wildly important goals make all the difference. @leaderinme @sarefunk
She has SO much genius and I am blessed to partner with her! Congratulations to one of the best leaders I know! So deserved, @MichelleBunnell ❤️💚💙👏 – at Williams Creek, IN
Join us in celebrating Michelle Bunnell, principal of Sand Creek Intermediate, who has been named the 2025 District 5 Middle School Principal of the Year by the Indiana Association of School Principals! 👏
Bunnell is known for her unwavering commitment to student growth, staff support, and building a strong school culture. She was also honored just last year for her work as Hamilton Southeastern Schools’ inaugural District Administrator of the Year in 2024 — and she continues to set the bar for exceptional leadership. 🏆
Congratulations, Principal Bunnell! Your impact is felt across our schools and beyond.

Focusing on the Wildly Important in the midst of the whirlwind = RESULTS. The Lewiston-Porter Primary Center set their sights on implementing leadership portfolios for their K-2 so they made it their school-wide WIG. As students complete their portfolio, they join WIG City! – at Niagara Falls, NY
The staff at North White MS/HS came together to celebrate the growth showing up in their MRA data after working intentionally to implement school-wide Leader in Me practices this year. And using the data to inform next steps for a strong start to next school year! @Phil_FCED – at Williams Creek, IN
Another Indiana school joins the @TheLeaderinMe Lighthouse community! Welcome, Holy Family Catholic School! I am so proud to be your coach ❤️💚💙 @Phil_FCED @HolyFamilyEagle
Teachers at North White MS/HS kicked off Wildly Important Goals (W.I.G.s) by including them as one of their “underground teacher days” last week. The student lighthouse team will be teaching their student peers the 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX)! @Phil_FCED – at Noblesville, IN

LIM Community Learning day today hosted by Roosevelt Middle School! Thank you to the school leaders and teachers who traveled from around the state to be with us today! The synergy in the room was electric and, as always, the students stole the show! @Phil_FCED @twinlakesschool – at Indianapolis, IN
One of the best ways to increase staff buy-in with Leader in Me is to send them to a Leadership day. They are popping up everywhere in Indiana — 2 next week and one in March. These are free events and GREAT opportunities to see LIM implementation in other buildings! @Phil_FCED – at Indianapolis, IN
SO proud of the Student Lighthouse Team at Cloverdale High for rolling out a school-wide Wildly Important Goal based on need (reducing the # of tardies to class) and designing both student and school-wide scoreboards! #changestartswithme #ownership @CdaleClovers @Phil_FCED
Oaklawn Elementary is expanding their Emotional Bank Account Systems to provide deposits for families by snail-mailing a “Little Note from the Teacher’s Desk” home to parents. We are sure there will be lots of smiles at the mailboxes!
❤️💚💙 @Phil_FCED
Come check out the greatness happening at Holy Family Catholic School. This is their very first Leadership Day, and we would love to have some of our current Leader in Me schools (or prospective schools) come down to support them and learn! Register now! @Phil_FCED – at Indiana, USA
Huntingburg Elementary has been working hard to create a culture of learning and student empowerment through the implementation of student goal-setting. Check out these very visible and compelling scoreboards! 😍 @Phil_FCED

Creating visuals of our school improvement goals that align with the @TheLeaderinMe practices. All of @SandCreekInt knows what we are doing and where we are going! Thank you Betsy Baker for the vision! @sarefunk @Phil_FCED
So much fun with our Indiana schools who attended the Leader in Me Symposium in Orlando, Florida this week! Special shout-out to Jean Ann McAllister and Amanda DeCrastos at Wilbur Wright for their lighthouse recognition on the “big stage!” We are so proud of you all! @Phil_FCED
The sweetest little EBA buckets I ever did see! Eastlawn Elementary prioritizes building relationships and creating a culture of belonging. @TheLeaderinMe @twinlakesschool @Phil_FCED – at Indiana, USA
Very exciting things happening at our very own Twin Branch Elementary in Mishawaka, IN! Check out this feature news story on their success with Leader in Me! ❤️💚💙 @Phil_FCED
