As we finish up our month focusing on the value of Responsibility there are many valuable and enriching conversations happening throughout the building. Whether it is a responsibility to our education, our community, or ourselves, students are having a fantastic opportunity to reflect and grow. All three grades participated in an assembly today given by Gabriel bol Deng about the power of hope and courage. An assembly that was proceeded by some fantastic lessons and followed by some compelling and introspective review. All of it was very impressive!
