Shell Knob School District is a Leader in Me (LIM) school. Discussions about the 7 habits begin in Kindergarten all through 8th grade.

The 7 habits of the Leader in Me program are:

• Be proactive: Take responsibility for your life 

• Begin with the end in mind: Have a plan and reconnect with your passion and purpose 

• Put first things first: Prioritize and take care of what's most important 

• Think win-win: Collaborate and look for solutions that benefit everyone 

• Seek first to understand, then to be understood: Listen with your ears, eyes, and heart 

• Synergize: Work together to create better solutions 

• Sharpen the saw: Balance your life by eating right, exercising, learning, and getting enough sleep 

In the mornings, Shell Knob schools also start with Impact Time for Middle School students and Community Time for Elementary students.

• Charger Mart / School Store (Incentives for behavior and doing well)

• Yearbook Club (School yearbook creation)

Community Time: Elementary kids meet in their classrooms during this time to celebrate birthdays, have any announcements and maybe a thought for the day.
