“We encourage to build courage for today and the future.”
Life shrinks or expands in proportion with one’s courage. Never escape the reality that the people you lead look to you for courage that comes from your encouragement!
More than ever, all of us need to be encouraged because we live in a world where courage is in demand. We vow this year to build a theme of developing courage for all of us to infuse this same courage and strength in young people in order for them to fulfill their purpose and plans for their lives.
One way to build courage is to celebrate the courageous acts and results we have already accomplished in the middle of naysaying circumstances that tried to take away our confidence faith in what we can achieve and even over achieve!
I am reminded of the incredible success over the summer break when our 23 senior graduates earned their Certified Nursing Assistance Licenses!!
I am reminded of the 25 middle school students who worked hard for over eight weeks in preparing for a UC Merced sponsored Math 1 class to be taken this upcoming school year!
I am reminded of the courage of our seven brave Women's Basketball Team who ended up winning the Southern California Regional Championship this past Summer! The first time in school history!!
I am reminded of the incredible growth of our high school English Language Arts CAASPP scores. With less than half of the students available for in person instruction for 2020-21, the scores grew 22%!
We are more encouraged than ever with the reality that nothing can stop us from going beyond and far what we could have ever imagined.
No need to look far for more of this because we have it already within us - let it spill over this year to do great things for kids!!
