THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Sophocles was an ancient Greek writer. He wrote about powerful figures who chose a noble path in life that ended in tragedy. If Sophocles had lived during the 1960s, he might have written about the noble but tragic life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Here’s what Sophocles has to say to us today: The ideal condition would be, I admit, that men should be right by instinct. But since we are likely to go astray the reasonable thing is to learn from those who can teach. It’s true, you know. It would be great if we always knew the right thing to do, but since we don’t always know, let’s pay attention to those who strive to teach us right from wrong, whether it’s our parents or our faith leaders or our school counselors or our teachers.
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.

Don’t worry, “It’s Safe To Tell.” Thanks for being AWESOME!
