PANTHER PRIDE FOCAL POINT
Attention Panther Nation! As we make it through the first full month of the school year, keep in mind that the staff is always on the lookout for students who are demonstrating PANTHER PRIDE. You can show your PRIDE by being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe. Each month, starting with September, our staff look for students who are going above and beyond with the Respectful, Responsible, and Safe expectations to be nominated as Students of the Month. My challenge to you this week is to continue to show your PRIDE and be respectful, responsible, and safe! Have a great week and GO PANTHERS!
Quote of the Week Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.
