	Dearborn Federal Credit Union supports Scholarship Fund

Supporting education in local communities is important to Dearborn Federal Credit Union (DFCU). With that in mind, Mike Dailey from the Madison Heights branch office presented Lamphere Superintendent Marsha Pando with a $5,000 donation to the Lamphere Scholarship Fund.

"This is an incredible donation. We are so appreciative of the continued generosity of DFCU and the impact it will have on the future of our students," said Pando. "The Lamphere Scholarship Fund was instituted to provide scholarships to graduating students and because of donations like this we are able to provide opportunities for students to continue their education."

	Leadership and Learning go Hand in Hand

Edmonson Elementary - Edmonson students have been learning that leadership is about being confident, determined communicators and to be able to work independently or as part of a team. The entire student body and staff have been reading the book, The 7 Habits of Happy Kids , by Sean Covey.

Using the 7 habits from the book, fourth grade students presented to the Lamphere Board of Education, their thoughts and examples of how they are using the traits to help them become leaders. Leading up to the meeting and working with Elementary Art Specialist Craig Hinshaw and classroom teachers, students created life size cardboard models of themselves and composed outstanding non-fiction writing pieces that demonstrated how they were leaders. The students' models and writing line the halls of Edmonson serving as constant reminders of the importance of developing leadership traits.

"Throughout this project, I've been touched as I listened to students dreams for themselves," said Hinshaw. "Their pride and hopes are evident in the way they painted (the figures). It is a huge responsibility we undertake as educators, to help these children aspire to their dreams and help them in that realization."

After the presentation on stage, members of the audience, administration and Board were invited to join 5th grade students in the hallways where the students stood next to their models and read their writing pieces aloud.

Simonds Elementary - How big is a million? That was the question asked of third grade students, working with Lamphere Math Coach Sarah Campbell. "Using manipulatives and working in teams these math students have deepened their understanding about place value and used their critical thinking skills to discover the answer," said Campbell. "Our students had such a great understanding of the lesson, they put together a presentation for the Board of Education."
