Brooks Families:
We are at the halfway mark of the school year. As a community, we need to remind our students of their academic norms and responsibilities...but it is also a good time to remind them of their social responsibilities. Below is a quote that is said to have hung on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children.
People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

8th Grade Families:
The second half of the year is upon us which means graduation is around the corner! This week students were given a packet that includes information about graduation pictures, a cap & gown order form, and the graduation t-shirt order form. Graduation pictures are Friday, February 17th. Each student must have a cap & gown to participate in the graduation ceremony. If you already have one at home from an older sibling or neighbor, feel free to wear that one and order only the tassel. RevTrak is the preferred method of payment for cap and gowns and payment is due by Wednesday, February 15th. The graduation t-shirt is optional. All students will sign the year "2017" and it makes a nice keepsake. The form and cash can be turned in at Ms. Klein's office. All forms are attached below. Please email Ms. Klein with any questions at [email protected]. Grad Pics Flyers , Grad T-Shirts Form , Cap and Gown Form
