Rocket Habit of the Month: Habit 2 – Begin with the End in Mind ✨

Students across Rockcastle County Schools are learning how to set purposeful goals, stay focused through challenges, and make thoughtful decisions that align with their values. By envisioning their future, our Rockets are becoming resilient learners, critical thinkers, innovative leaders, and responsible citizens — all charting their own course toward success! 🚀

At this evening’s Rockcastle County Schools Board Meeting, we had the pleasure of hearing from Brodhead Elementary School! 🎨
Principal Nick Williams and art teacher Ms. Gina Bussell spoke about the excitement surrounding the school’s new art class and the positive impact it’s already having on students. Following their remarks, several students proudly presented their artwork and shared some of the creative projects they’ve completed so far this year. 🌟

Rocket Habit of the Month: Habit 1 – Be Proactive! 🚀
Leadership begins long before the classroom — it starts at home. Families can help children take responsibility and make thoughtful choices by using the “Pause, Think, Choose” method. Encourage your child to stop, reflect, and make the best choice for any situation. Together, we’re building strong proactive habits that last a lifetime!

These habits connect directly to our Portrait of a Rocket work, guiding learners to lead themselves, collaborate with others, and grow continuously — in school and beyond.
Stay tuned as we explore each habit and highlight the many ways our Rockets put them into action every day! 🚀💙

The Portrait of a Rocket continues to guide our work at Rockcastle County Schools, showing how every student can learn, lead, and soar. Rooted in The Leader in Me framework and aligned with Kentucky’s Portrait of a Learner, it reflects the qualities we aim to build in all Rockets—resilience, responsibility, communication, collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. 🚀
This is the heart of our vision: guiding Rocket Learners to Rocket Leaders. 🌟
