Year-End Message to Students
To our Millburn students:
We are extremely proud of everyone's efforts this year. As you embark on a new chapter of your life, always remember that learning does not stop inside the classroom. As Henry L. Doherty said, “Be a student as long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life.” Every experience in life will teach you something. You just need to keep an open mind and open heart to see what lessons the world has to offer. Look what you were able to do this year, with all the new things and new ways you learned. Life will always present challenges, just like this school year did. Do not let these challenges stop you from moving forward. It did not stop us this year. We found ways to be successful. Yes, sometimes things didn’t work, but we kept going until we could make it work. Let’s use this year as time to remember not about how it was different, but how it made us better.
Have a wonderful summer..and as we say on the Millburn News:
This is Mr. Walshire...signing off.
This is Mrs. Gedville….make it a great one!
And this is Mr. Gorr….remember….to wash your hands!
