January’s Character Strong word of the month is patience. Patience is responding with our values or our beliefs rather than our impulses or our immediate feelings.

Today’s quote of the day: “Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement, and failure. Patience

creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.”

– Brian Adam

• Please remember to wear your ID badge at all times.  All doors are secured, and your ID will be needed for access.  As a reminder, your ID badge will be required for cafeteria purchases and for the bus, so it is even more important to have your badges! 
• Keeping our school safe and secure means not letting others into the B Building by the parking lot doors after 8am. After 8 am, all students need to enter IMPACT using an ID badge at the side gate or through the Front Office.

January’s Character Strong word of the month is patience. Patience is responding with our values or our beliefs rather than our impulses or our immediate feelings. Today’s quote of the day: “He that can have patience can have what he will.” – Benjamin Franklin.

Be kind, be courageous, and always strive to be the best version of yourself.  Have a great day Spartans!
