THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Does it ever seem to you like everything costs a lot of money? Are there things you want that simply cost too much? Well, don’t be disheartened because the best things in life are free. Now listen to this American proverb: This is nothing that costs so little nor goes so far as courtesy. Think about it. Being well-mannered, kind, and respected to other doesn’t cost you a penny, but it’s worth a great deal. In fact, it can help you succeed in life. And it not only enriches your life, it enriches the lives of those around you. Today, remember this: courtesy pays.
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!
