Ballardville Mission Statement 2016-2017
We, as members of the 16-17 Ballardville class, promise to respect our core values.
Core Values:
- We will help each other and respect everyone’s needs
- We will encourage each other to learn and be the best we can be
- We will be positive and kind throughout the year
- We will use our imaginations and outside the box
We also pledge to follow the Golden Rule at all times, try new challenges with a growth mindset, and show grit when we want to quit.
We will set a good example for Glenhope Elementary, and work to improve our classroom and ourselves every day.
