Patriot Pride
November 26th - December 3rd
Threshold
During the end of the first semester is when we get excited about many upcoming events .... Winter Break, Christmas, Holidays, the start of the new year, and seeing family and friends. It is a very exciting time for everyone.
During this time of year we also approach a Threshold ... this time of year we can turn on cruise control and coast into the end of the year, we can back off a little and take a break till the end, or we can continue facilitating the scholars towards transdisciplinary learning and deep understanding. The Threshold, 'the magnitude or intensity that must be exceeded for a certain reaction, phenomenon, result, or condition to occur or be manifested', is up to you. Only you will know if you are giving your best to our scholars everyday.
Enjoy this time of year, but continue to be present, motivated, and prepared for our kids each day. They deserve it and being present for our scholars is what makes Preston Hollow the exceptional campus that it is.
Onward!
