Mrs. Nicole Blanc - Habit 3: Put First Things First
Mrs. Blanc, along with StuCo, organized a meaningful schoolwide event following Spirit
Week that raised both money and awareness for breast cancer—and all cancers. The gym
was filled with purple shirts and signs, symbolizing support for all those affected by
cancer. Attendees were encouraged to honor loved ones by placing the names of family
members and friends who have been affected. This event beautifully highlighted the
Leader in Me habit “Put First Things First,” reminding us that relationships with the people
we love are among our most important “big rocks.”

Each Friday of a full week for the remainder of the school year, the Zumwalt West school community will recognize the accomplishments and wisdom of our seniors. In May, as graduation approaches, there will be a Senior Spotlight each school day.
Mrs. Heather Lopez exemplifies Habit 1: Be Proactive through her leadership in bringing
MTSS to West High. Seeing a need, she stepped forward and led the planning,
organization, and scheduling needed to make MTSS a reality. Heather has spent countless
hours developing a proactive framework to support students and address individual needs
before challenges escalate. Along with the teachers and staff who participated in the
initial meetings, her work is already making a positive and lasting impact at West High.

Mrs. Nicole Sloan - Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
Mrs. Nicole Sloan, Spanish teacher, has challenged her students to set weekly goals by
incorporating the Leader in Me habit “Begin with the End in Mind.” Students create weekly
goals and revisit them at the end of each week to reflect on what they have achieved.
Through this process, students are learning proactive goal-setting skills while
strengthening their Spanish language skills at the same time. Great job, Nicole!
