Quote of the day: from Ralph Marston
Make it a habit to
tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the
expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and
you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find
that you have more of it.
Many thanks to all the students who stayed to
participate in classrooms, in the food serving line, and as general guides at
the Showcase Monday night. Countless
parents of prospective students stopped by to tell your administrators how
poised, articulate, and well-spoken our students are! You represented your school and yourselves
very well and it is appreciated! Thank
you!!
Practice L&N
Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical thinking, Design, Innovation,
Inquiry, & Professionalism
