Elizabethtown Area Middle School is proud to recognize its March Students of the Month, honoring students who demonstrate strong character, leadership, and personal growth. This recognition is part of the school’s Leader in Me initiative, which promotes leadership development, positive relationships, and student ownership throughout the school year. Each month, teachers reflect on students within their teams through the lens of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, identifying those who exemplify a specific habit or who have shown meaningful growth in that area.
For March, the focus was on Habit 6: Synergize, which emphasizes the power of teamwork and collaboration. Synergizing occurs when two or more people work together to create a better solution than either would have conceived alone. It is not about “your way” or “my way,” but about finding a better way.
The students recognized this month consistently demonstrated their ability to value the strengths of others and learn from them. They worked effectively with peers from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, actively seeking out others’ ideas and contributions. By collaborating respectfully and thoughtfully, these students helped create stronger solutions and more inclusive classroom environments. Their ability to listen, contribute, and build on the ideas of others reflects the true spirit of Habit 6.
The following students were selected for exemplifying Habit 6 in their daily interactions with peers and staff.
