Dear Students,
Please read the ancient proverb below:
"Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime."
What meaning does this proverb hold for you?
To me, as a teacher, it reflects my goal of helping you to acquire knowledge and skills that you will use throughout your lifetime ~ not for just one day.
How can you help me achieve my goal?
By coming to school, thinking positively, being cooperative, and working to the best of your ability, together we can accomplish great things.
Here’s to a wonderfully successful school year!
~ Mrs. Hoffman
