Students, we have accumulated many lost and found items located outside of the office. Please check to see if you are missing any clothing, shoes,  water bottle or school supply items. We will be getting rid of what is left after today.

Cato the Elder, an old Roman Soldier and Senator once said “an angry man opens his mouth and shuts his eyes.”  When people are consumed by anger, they will say things they don’t mean to say, because they are no longer speaking with their open mind.  Their eyes are shut because of the lack of empathy and understanding about how another person feels.  If you are angry, the best thing you can do is take a few minutes, calm down, and relax before taking action on your emotions.   

At this time, will you please rise for the pledge: 

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.  

Farmer Four:

I am respectful

I am responsible

I am safe

I am prepared

Today is National Star Trek Day!  I used to confuse Star Wars with Star Trek.  It was a Wookie mistake.    

Have a great day Farmers!!!
