Things sent to me and meant to be shared...
 
Shared with me by Emily Lobacz:
 
ATTITUDE
 
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past,
than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company...a church...a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable . The only thing we can do is play
on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to us and
90% how we react to it.
And so it is with you...
WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR ATTITUDES!
 
- Charles Swindoll
 
Submitted by Erin Gryn:
 
She's too short, he's too tall.
Her eyebrows are too thick, and his nose is too small.
She gets too sad, he looks too weird.
Her freckles are too big, and no one likes his beard.
Her mouth is filled with metal, he has 4 eyes instead of 2.
Her hair is way too dark, and his eyes are way too blue.
She paints her nails black, he always wears a tie.
She'll never smile and he'll never cry.
She won't be noticed, he won't make the team.
Her name will never be in lights, and he'll never achieve his dream.
Why is everyone judged? Why is being accepted so tough?
Why do people try so hard and why are teenage years so rough?
No one should be judged.
No one should be hurt by something you say.
No one should be excluded and most of all
no one should be treated this way.

"In the News" Responses
 
Posted here are your responses to "In the News" items on the homepage.

"I shook hands with Barack Obama today in Philadelphia! It was so cool! I hope that he is our next president!"
 
"It makes me so mad that it seems like the media is making Blair out to be a bad kid. He wasn't at all! I wish people would be more sensitive to his memory!"
 
At Mr. Bascelli's viewing I read a quote in a picture collage that reminded me of him: "Paradise is reserved for those who make us laugh."  - Mrs. Coover
 
Student Responses:
 
"It is terrible that Billy and Andy lost their dads. Especially because they are guys. Guys and dads...I can't really explain it."

Class Comments
 
Here is where I will post comments from the students of the class of 2010 on a variety of subjects.
Email me to contribute your thoughts!
 
 
"I think you should allow us to create a new class chant and vote on it."
 
"I'm not sure about this 9th grade academy. I'm worried that it will be all different from what I was expecting."
 
"Things really aren't changing that much. We will still see upper classmen, have electives and lunches with them. We still have honors classes and everything else. The only difference is that our homerooms and classes will be close together. I'm actually glad we don't have to walk all around the building."

Please let me know if you would like me to make your comments in this area anonymous.
