Student Lighthouse leads 'First Things First' assembly

Clay Central/Everly Student Lighthouse members hosted a school-wide assembly last week that covered the Leader in Me habit of putting "first things first."

Bentlee Tewes (above) gave a demonstration using rocks, pebbles and sand poured into a vase. It showed that when you do the most important things first and add in what you want to do later, then you can fit everything in nicely with time and space to spare. However, when you do it the opposite way and do what you want before what you need to do, then many times we will not be making time for what matters most and will have no time to spare as we scramble to fit in what's most important.

The assembly finished with the Maverick cheerleaders pepping up the students and staff to round out the day (below).
