Back to School Night 9.17.15

Parents, it was great to meet you last night!  Students, I loved meeting your parents!

Juniors/Junior Parents:
Here are some of the student-written Transcendental Poems I shared:

Appreciate the gift of life
It’s a rare and special gift
Appreciate life’s tiny gifts
A ray of sun or sea of water
Appreciate thoughtless gestures
A gleaming smile or subtle wave
Appreciate family
Don’t take them for granted
Appreciate friends
They’re the life vest when you’re drowning
Appreciate love
It’s a small yet beautiful thing
Appreciate honesty
Honesty is courageous
Appreciate the journey
Enjoy the view
Appreciate uniqueness
For no snowflake is alike
Appreciate the unknown
There’s light at the end of the tunnel



How can I be myself
If I worry about who I am?
If I ask too many questions
Will I ever understand?
When the clock will cease to tick
Will I worry about time?
When my choices are my outcome
Will I come to regret mine?

Don't we have some amazing, creative writers?  Your students have been impressing me through and through.  I can't wait to read their Credos.  Be sure to ask your student about his/her Credo.

Parents and Students,
I hope you take some time to discuss your Broncos Read book together.  Maybe you will inspire someone to read the book you selected.

Have a great weekend!
