VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE STUDENTS, ADMINISTRATORS, FACULTY, STAFF, AND PARENTS OF PAULINE-GLENN SPRINGS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OF SPARTANBURG COUNTY FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING WORK AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR BEING SELECTED AS A LIGHTHOUSE SCHOOL.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary School was named a Lighthouse School under FranklinCovey's The Leader in Me program in May 2013; and
Whereas, FranklinCovey's The Leader in Me process was developed to prepare students to meet the challenges of today's global economy and reduce the gap between the way students are prepared for the workforce and the skills and character employers are seeking; and
Whereas, designed to be integrated into a school's core curriculum, the process helps to create a common language within a school, built on proven principle-based leadership skills found in Dr. Stephen R. Covey's best-selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People; and
Whereas, the principles encourage students to be proactive so that they realize they are in charge; to begin with the end in mind, which requires having a plan; to put first things first so that they work first, then play; to think "win-win," realizing everyone can win; to seek first to understand, then to be understood so that they learn to listen before they talk; to synergize by working together; and to "sharpen the saw," learning the benefits of balance; and
Whereas, in May 2013, Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary School became one of only a few state schools to receive the prestigious Lighthouse School status from The Leader in Me program; and
Whereas, the Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary administrators, staff, students, parents, and community began working toward Lighthouse recognition several years ago; and
Whereas, in order to achieve this goal, they had to put a Lighthouse team in place, create a leadership environment, teach and reinforce the 7 Habits, work together collaboratively, have students in meaningful leadership roles, involve parents, create and hold leadership events, use student data through data notebooks and other leadership tools, and show measurable results; and
Whereas, currently fewer than sixty schools worldwide have received Lighthouse Status, including schools in Canada, Indonesia, and the United States; and
Whereas, as part of the long process of self-evaluation and implementation of the leadership model with students, staff, parents, and community to become a Lighthouse School, members of a Lighthouse Review team spent a full day this spring at Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary, meeting with and interviewing parents, students, and staff, touring the school, visiting classrooms, and reviewing data with students; and
Whereas, Pauline-Glenn Springs was named a 2008-2009 DHEC First Team All Health Gold Winner, and earned 2009-2010 Red Carpet School Award and the 2010-2011 Palmetto Gold Award; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for the pride and recognition that the Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary School family has brought to the school, the community, and our State and looks to hear of the continued success of these Lighthouse School winners. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognizes and honors the students, administrators, faculty, staff, and parents of Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary School of Spartanburg County for their outstanding work and congratulate them for being selected as a Lighthouse School.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary School Principal Jennifer F. Million.
