THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Former president George H. W. Bush spent his summers as a child on the coast of Maine. Listen to this story about one of his childhood experiences: My brother and I still remember the thrill of our first sea adventure. That first time out by ourselves, a storm blew up. It was sudden and knocked around a little. We were scared, but we brought the boat home. The family was on the dock and everyone looked worried. My grandfather said he knew we could do it. That gave me the confidence that’s lasted all my life. Developing confidence is important. Every time you overcome an obstacle, you gain a little confidence, so don’t shy away from the challenges of life. Oh and one more thing. Remember what President Bushes grandfather said “I knew you could do it!”? The power of just one single vote of confidence can go a long way. Today, give someone your vote of confidence. It could last that person a lifetime.
LUNCH: Do you bring your lunch from home? If you do, you can add a fruit, veggie and milk for free!!! That’s right! You can jazz up your lunch in the cafeteria with a fruit, veggie and milk for free if you bring your lunch from home. Bon appetit!!
SAFE: It’s SAFE to Tell. The SAFE Team exists to help students with problems in a confidential manner to help remove any and all barriers to education. You can refer your friends or yourself. It’s now safer and easier to tell: just fill out the SAFE to Tell form which you can find ONLINE in your guidance counselor’s resources folder. Don’t worry, “It’s Safe To Tell.” Thanks for being AWESOME!
