THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The word influence literally means to flow in. You might say that when one person person influences another, the example he or she is setting flows into someone else. When famous opera singer Leontyne Price was just nine years old, her mother took her to hear Marian Anderson sing. Marian Anderson was the first African-American to appear at New York City’s Metropolitan Opera. Marian Anderson’s magnificent voice flowed into Leontyne Price and influenced her forever. Ms. Price decided then and there to become a great opera singer… and she did! For better or for worse, others greatly influence us. That’s why studying the lives of great people is so important. Today, ask yourself this: Who in the world is influencing me in a positive way and why?
BREAKFAST: Attention all students: The cafeteria is now serving free breakfast and lunch meals for all students every day until the end of December. You heard that right… free breakfast and lunch meals! All students automatically qualify and no form needs to be submitted.
