a group of young students raise their arms excitedly in the air to show off their different colored bracelets

Perseverance. Courage. Trustworthiness.

These are just a few of the values represented by each of the new student houses at Lee Hill Elementary! In a surprise reveal, every student opened up a bag with a colored bracelet inside to signify which house they'd be a part of.

Each of the eight houses - Ari, Shumba, Zaki, Sher, León, Tao, Sinha, and Asad - are named after the word "Lion" in different languages and are comprised of students from all grades to promote unity and friendship.

Here are the values each team represents:
León - Thoughtful
Tao - Perseverance
Sinha - Kindness
Asad - Trustworthy
Ari - Visionary
Zaki - Integrity
Shumba - Courageous
Sher - Resilience

Go lions!
