THOUGHT OF THE DAY: American actor Edward James Olmos has invited many young people in schools, hospitals, libraries, and juvenile detention centers. His message? Keep trying until you get what you want out of life. Why? Because sometimes it takes a lot of determination to achieve our goals. It can mean working hard and not giving up in the face of fear and failure.
Today, remember the message of Edward James Olmos and the words of another great American actor, Mickey Rooney: You always pass failure on the way to success. So don’t let failure stop you. Instead, let failure be an opportunity to do better the next time… an opportunity to try harder and to learn from your mistakes.
DROP OFF TABLE: Student Services has a drop off table. If you are expecting something dropped off, please come to the Student Services drop off table for pick up. Ms. Osorio will write you a hall pass or sign your pass. If you are expecting money, please see Ms. Osorio. Money will not be left on the table.
BOXTOPS: Want to help our school raise money? Please bring in boxtops for education. Boxtops can be found on so many items! Simply cut them off and bring them to your homeroom teacher.
