Ervin Express Week of 4/27/15
The Last 6-Weeks of the Year!
Principal's Message
Start strong, stay strong, and finish strong by always remembering why you're doing it in the first place. ~Ralph Marston
Do you remember the reasons why you wanted to teach? Do you remember why you chose to work in a school or why you chose the field of education? For the next 6-weeks, reflect and recall those reasons......they will help you make it through!
You are a masterpiece! You are fully loaded and totally equipped for the race that's designed for you! Stay focused, stay strong, and let's finish this year strong!
Always J. N. Ervin Proud....Excellence Unleashed!
