Words of Wisdom
"I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again."
-William Penn
Passing through life often seems like a race to get everything done by bedtime. In our hurry, we may be crabby to others, miss important dates, or overlook the needs of those closest to us. It's all unintentional, but nevertheless, feelings can be hurt and relationships damaged.
It's important to remember that we will not pass this way again. Relationships matter. Don't neglect what's really important in life by deferring kindness.

If students are not feeling well or have symptoms of any illness, please keep them home for the day.
