This month, we’re focusing on Habit 3: Put First Things First. At our school, we want every student to understand the power of prioritizing! This habit is all about setting and completing our most important tasks first. When we focus on what matters most - whether it's schoolwork, teamwork, or personal responsibilities - we create a strong foundation for success. Together, let's practice balancing work with fun, focusing on our goals, and making smart choices that keep us moving forward!

The Booster Club will be meeting on Wednesday, November 20th in the Library from 6:00-7:00. Swing by and see who you can get involved!
