<\/p>\nOn Friday, we held our first Mini-Brain election of Term Three. Election regulations prohibit consecutive terms for the MIni-Brain, so Anika and her Nano-Brain, David, were ineligible for this election cycle. As per tradition, students stood to nominate those in Division 2 whom they thought best exemplified positive leadership qualities, giving evidence to support their nominations. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The power of perseverance (or is it the perseverance for power?) has led to the election of our first Grade 6 Mini-Brain, Amy!<\/p>\n

Amy has been a nominee in every cycle and brings with her the experience of one month as Nano-Brain during the inaugural Mini-Brain term. She also brings a promise of chocolate for everyone on Fridays…<\/p>\n
Congratulations, Amy!<\/p>\n
And remember, all: if we seem to be looking for and celebrating an embodiment of helpfulness, fairness, and a welcoming and inclusive attitude in our leaders, as evidenced in our nomination process, can we also seek out and bring those qualities to our interactions on social media and during recess and lunch? That is the challenge, going forward. Leaders of Tomorrow, Assemble!<\/p>\n
