ARCADIA, Calif., May 6, 2010 – Westfield Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia has just become a little more convenient for shoppers and mall employees. 

The Panda Restaurant Group has joined with the Garvey School District in an
exciting new program entitled “The Leader in Me,” based on the work of Steven
R. Covey in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

Due to the generosity of Panda, teachers at Bitely, Rice and Willard schools
received training on this program during the summer. The remaining elementary
schools are in the process of being trained by District facilitators who were certified through the FranklinCovey organization again as part of the partnership with Panda.
