MESSAGE FROM INTERIM PRINCIPAL ROBIN LOWE

Image

Dear Parents,

 

Time is flying by this year! I can't believe that we only have another week until spring break!

 

With that in mind, I wanted to share with you a great book for teenagers that you might want to read with your tweenager:  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, by Sean Covey. The book covers everything from self-image to resisting peer pressure to achieving goals. It is a fun read, packed with great quotes and real-life stories. And the bests thing is, even if you can't get your teen to read it, you will benefit from it too!

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Robin
