This afternoon our 6th grade students attended an assembly with Mr. Litton from Action Karate. He talked to them about the importance of goal setting and how to take it one step at a time to make a lot of progress in the end. He also talked about how to be an upstander and to stand up for yourself and others in a firm but respectful way. One tip he shared was to have confidence in yourself, ask a question, or use humor to diffuse a situation.
We are just THREE DAYS away from our Early Admission In-Person Application event! We hope to see you at 9:00 AM Saturday morning! Applications for K-12 seats next year will be available at BOTH campuses!
