"Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever." - Mohandas Gandhi
The 2008-2009 school year is upon us. The Olympics and the 2008 Presidential election kick off this exciting year. We have an awesome year ahead of us, and I hope you are as thrilled as I am to get started. You can expect to be challenged and engaged. Be prepared!!!!
Citizenship is the theme this year. Good citizens respect others, obey rules and laws, vote, help those in need, are responsible, and stay informed. All we do at school, in our community and as citizens of this great country hinge on these few basic principles.
