October 27th
Hey everyone, sorry I could not be here today. There is one very important thing that needs to be accomplished today, and then I have an assignment for you.
1. We need all hands on deck to make sure the water bottles get delivered for our blood donors. Katia's group will lead you through this process. This should only take 30 minutes for us to deliver all of the bottles to our donors. We ended up have way more people register than anticipated; if we do not have enough water bottles make sure the water goes to students, staff if there is enough left.
2. Once, you are finished after 30 minutes, open the tab at the top of this page titled "Oct. 27th Assignment." COMMITTEE HEADS: PRINT OFF 6 COPIES; ONE FOR YOU AND ONE FOR EACH OF YOUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS!!!
3. Complete the assignment and turn it in to the sub!
See you guys Thursday, my costume will be the best!

Definitions of Leadership
There are many ways to define leadership. In the final piece of your presentation, we are asking you to provide your personal definition of leadership. Then, we would like you to identify a person in your life who you feel lives this definition and tell us about that person.
To begin our discussion on leadership, we would like you to read through the following text. Make sure to focus on "Another Definition in Progress" through "Insight: The 20th Century."

Finding Your Passion, Your True North
"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
In school and in work there is an epidemic. It is far-reaching and is threatening to undermine the progress that many of you have been striving for; it causes people to burn-out and turn away from jobs and projects they used to love. We have all experienced its symptoms, blame, apathy, procrastination, frustration, and the most devastating, negativity. When a person has no passion for what they do, it can pull a piece of the foundation from the foundation of a fragile house of cards.
We work around it, we take on more responsibility, we complain, or we shut down. There are many avenues that can accommodate or avoid dealing with an issue that is stopping us from achieving outstanding results. But, there is a more proactive manner in which we can synergize and energize our committees.
Last class we talked with you about finding our true north and putting that true north into our mission statement for our life. Talk briefly about your progress in working through your mission statement

The Back to School Assembly
In our first week back to school. Leadership seized another opportunity to build upon the culture of spirit at Oak Park with the Back to School Assembly. Last year, the Leadership class reflected back and wanted to improve issues such as timing, preparation for the assembly games, and sound inconsistencies to make progress for this year. How did we do? What went well? What should we improve? Or, what should we remember for next year?
