Quote of the Week
Education is like a passport, opening many doors for you and your students. Educating your mind is a journey, not a destination. We never stop learning. There’s nothing anyone can do to prevent you from reaching your goals and your potential. The challenge is for you to identify your dream, develop the skills to get there, and exhibit character and leadership along the way. Just like you, every student in your classroom has the potential to succeed. Inside each student is the potential to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, actor, or inventor. It takes great teachers to unlock that potential. Our goal as educators is to build the next generation of leaders. High quality teaching is vital to student success. Continue to learn and grow this year in your own career so you can create a successful path for our students.
Caught Being Kind!
Matthew K. , also from Mrs. Hervieux's room, cheered on a friend who lost a math competition. He said, "You did great!" and was so proud of him.
Isabella from Mrs. Roberts’ class noticed a student was by himself and went over to him so he wouldn’t be sad.
Michael L. from Mrs. Aquilante’s class did a wonderful job straightening up the room after snack.
