If you could give one piece of educational advice as a "gift" to our students this holiday season, what would it be?

Everything in life requires effort. Especially when adversity hits. Don’t let fear of failure stop you from becoming the best version of yourself. What you learn today, builds onto the skills you’ll need tomorrow.

- Craig Palmer, Paraeducator

The key to success in your education begins with 2 foundational things: Effort & Kindness. Give your best effort in everything; your consistent commitment speaks volumes and earns respect. Always lead with kindness; it opens doors, and others will want to follow/support you.

- Erin Hagen, Assistant Principal

SS

Always make time to read. You will never regret it!

- Suzanne Stottlemyre, Teacher

Anneka

You never stop learning, even as an adult. So embrace your curiosity and make learning fun. Explore what excites you, read books that take you to new places, and never be afraid to try something new. Oftentimes you learn more from your mistakes than you do success.

- Anneka Brown, Librarian

JP

Everything in life is a learning experience, especially the difficult things.

- Justin Poland, Teacher

FE

Get organized: a place for everything, everything in its place. Work is only work if you'd rather be doing something else. Focus, listen intently; question & repeat back until you get it. "Sometimes not having it all figured out is having it figured out." - Bill H.

- Frank Ehresmann, Teacher
