Activities for week four 9/23 - 9/27 - 2013

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 stay on top of things. You will also have Ms DaVilla for the next couple of weeks, please follow her directions.  Also you can email me at jcyrus@pylusd.org.
