Dera Dragon families,
As we delve into the month of April, our theme centers on resilience — a quality that fuels our ability to face challenges head-on and emerge stronger.
American author and poet Helen Keller once said, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." These words remind us that resilience isn't just about enduring hardships; it's about finding the strength within to rise above them.
Throughout this month, we'll engage in discussions and activities that highlight the power of resilience. From classroom lessons to extracurricular activities, we aim to instill in our students the belief that setbacks are temporary and opportunities for growth.
As a thought to ponder, consider that every setback is a setup for a comeback. By embracing challenges as learning experiences, we cultivate resilience that propels us forward in our personal and academic journeys.
Thank you for your ongoing support as we nurture a resilient and determined community of dragons.
As always "Go Dragons",
Dr. Jennifer Holmstrom
