Habit 2

Begin with the End in Mind

During the month of October, DMS students will learn about Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. People who begin with the end in mind have a plan. They create a Personal Mission Statement that they try to live by every day and set short and long term goals. Take some time to create a Family Mission Statement!  Use this link and follow the steps with your family at home. Click on this Habit 2 Link for information on how you can learn more and practice Habit 2 at home!
