Activities for week four 9/24 - 9/28 - 2012

Nothing is more important than relationships. As the school year moves on let us build our relationship. Andrew Carnegie once said, "There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he is willing to climb himself." I hope you want to climb the ladder of success - your success. We have a very busy week with three tests, stay on top of things; remember I will always be here in the mornings, break, or come to the tennis courts after school if you need help or have questions. Also you can email me at jcyrus@pylusd.org.
