Here we are, another Thanksgiving holiday passed, and another Black Friday survived. We all have plenty to be thankful for. We are thankful for our parents who motivate our students to come to school. We are thankful for our students who want to see an expected end: their high school diploma. We are thankful for the teachers who work day in and day out to see our students reach their goals. We are thankful for our directors who work tirelessly to support students and staff as they move towards graduation. We are so very thankful for that 5 day break from it all!!!
We know that this time of year can bring joy and tears, but most of all we must stay focused. We must be focused on our students' success. We must be focused on our students' future endeavors. We must be focused on helping them become realistic everyday role models to those around them. We must be focused on the here and now, to properly shape the there and later.
We are asking you to not think about the large gifts and sparkling things, but the future this high school diploma will bring. We want you to focus on the gift that keeps on giving: education. The limits are taken off our students' lives when we give them tools to be successful. Can you help us do that? Will you encourage your student to come to school? Will you give them that extra push? We can take it from there if you just get them in the door! We will push them to be their absolute best!! We cannot do it without your help.
Looking forward to the future,
Marion County DBI
