Activities for week four 9/22 - 9/26 - 2014

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. If you are missing something from the first three weeks please get it to me before Wednesday.  Also you can email me at jcyrus@pylusd.org. if you have any questions.
