Mrs. Miller's Weekly Update
April 3 - April 9, 2023
***** CHALLENGE YOURSELF & ***** KEEP GROWING!
I love this quote because it is so true! It is easier and safer to stay in our comfort zone and not challenge ourselves. It can be scary and sometimes even intimidating to put ourselves out there. However, it's so important that we do take chances. For, as the saying goes, that's when we grow and move towards our full potential.
Our students are often asked to step out of their comfort zones and push themselves to learn and grow, both in the classroom and beyond. Many of our students participate in extra curricular activities at GHV. We have numerous opportunities for our kids to get involved. Many of these events and activities push our kids to step out of their comfort zones, face their fears, and come out stronger and better because of it.
Congratulations to all of our staff and students who step outside their comfort zones, face challenges, and grow as a result!
***** NOW WHAT? *****
Brandon discussed that while a GPA is important now, down the road, employers won't care what your high school GPA was. He addressed topics such as working hard, being committed, and challenging ourselves to do and be our best. Brandon ended his presentation with the question, "Now what?" Like the theme of this newsletter, our students need to continue to challenge themselves and keep growing!
