Perseverance: commitment, hard work, patience, and endurance

"A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn." Helen Keller

• Please bring in any Fall Party treats for Friday :)

• Our field trip is Nov. 6! Students need to pack a sack lunch in a throw away bag (nothing to save) and wear their new orange shirts. Please do not send money as the gift shop is very expensive and there will be no real time to shop.  All chaperones have been notified.

This week we'll discuss how we can show grit when we are faced with challenging things! Students will learn about baseball player Lou Gehrig and how he showed grit in his career and even when faced with a life threatening disease.
