January- Responsibility & Commitment

 

What does it mean to be Responsible?

Never give up. Never give up. Never give up." Winston Churchill

 

“Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?” LeBron James

 

“The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.” Tony Robbins

I never failed once when I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2,000-step process.” Thomas Edison

 

It’s a new semester! Encourage your students to show responsible behavior and be committed to being their best!  Hope everyone had a relaxing and peaceful holiday.

You are making a difference!  Kindness always matters at Three Oaks Elementary!
