Finish Well
I was inspired this week by my pastor. I share lots of quotes from lots of books. This quote is from the book, 2nd Timothy. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." As we finish this week of instruction heading into Spring Break may this be our matra. As we leave the building on Friday, we want to reflect back on this week of instruction and know that we FINISHED WELL. Every minutes counts! Students need your expertise. Their success counts on you. For some of our Eastside panthers, education is their ticket out of poverty! We hold the key to unlock their successful future. Let's go!!!
Eastside is in the Log Cabin again! Great job Math/Wellness Committee!!
