Life lessons.....

"Always do your best.  What you plant now, you will harvest later"....... Og Mandino

As teachers we are in an unique position, able to motivate and encourage students through difficult times from a different perspective and point of reference than their parent.  For many students, and especially our student athletes, this first quarter has been challenging.  We all like to win or come out on top of the competition but if and when we don't win, it's okay because the final score does not define or dictate who we are.  We learn from our mistakes, pick ourselves up, hold our heads high, and get out and try again.  My favorite Japanese proverb is "Fall seven times; get up eight."  As long as we keep getting up we will win because we're building life skills of persistence, resiliency, and tenacity. These are the real gifts, this is the real learning we want for all of our students at Waimea High School.

Here's the weekly bulletin..... remember it's the last week of the quarter so please tell your student(s) to finish strong, get in all assignments, and STUDY HARD for any tests or quizzes.
