Jackson School is the first school in the county to pursue leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED Certification). Jackson School is the first Gold Certified LEED school in the state. To become LEED certified, buildings are awarded points based on anything that would make a building "green", which includes water conservation, air quality, waste, construction, energy use, etc. This year, Jackson is starting a new journey implementing the 7 Habits of Happy Kids, using the books the Leader in Me and the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The 7 Habits that we are all using in our lives are:
1) Be Proactive: You are responsible for yourself.
2) Begin with the End in Mind: Have a plan
3) Put First Things First: Work first, play later.
4) Think Win/Win: Everyone can win.
5) Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: Listen before you talk.
6) Synnergize: Together is better.
7) Sharpen the Saw: Balance is best.
