Advisory - Break

Students, 

Now that we are into November, it is very easy to become comfortable in the hallways and in the classrooms.  We are comfortable with our classmates, teachers, and moving from class to class. We need to remember the expectations we hold in the classrooms and all around school.  Be prepared for every class and treat your teachers and classmates with respect.  With 3 weeks until Thanksgiving Break, it can be very easy to not give 100%. I am challenging each of you to put forth your best effort in everything you do!  It takes courage to do things the right way every day and to treat your friends and teachers the way they deserve to be treated!
