I want to welcome you to the 2024|25 school year!
We have choices to make every day. A choice to walk into a classroom and capitalize on the lessons and opportunities provided. A choice to be kind. A choice to do better, to be better. A choice to set the highest standards for yourself every day.
Realize that every moment and every choice is important. What you do matters. What you say matters. How you make others feel matters.
I am so excited for this upcoming school year. Let’s get it!
💟
Huy tseep q’u! Thank you for listening.
