🏆 🏆🏆Congratulations to SEP Delaware Elementary, SEP Four Mile Elementary and SEP Mitchellville Elementary on being named Leader in Me Lighthouse Schools by FranklinCovey Education! 🌟

This prestigious recognition highlights the incredible leadership culture, student growth, academic excellence, and strong partnerships happening every day in our schools. Only a select number of schools worldwide earn Lighthouse Certification, making this an outstanding achievement for our Southeast Polk community!

This achievement is a direct result of the collective efforts of our students, staff, and families. Your partnership as families plays a vital role in making this work possible.

At Southeast Polk, we are committed to developing the whole child, academically, socially, and emotionally. Through the Leader in Me framework, students are building confidence, setting goals, collaborating with others, and taking ownership of their learning and leadership journeys. We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment and grateful for a community that believes in the potential of every student.

We look forward to continuing this important work together! 🖤💛
