Our theme this year is "Building Bridges to Higher Learning". Mrs. Graham, our principal, picked this theme because of the "re-building" we are doing as a school this year, after all of the changes that have occurred because of budget, faculty changes, and the building of Waterleaf Elementary School. On a deeper level I feel this theme really reflects what happens during a school year. Students and teachers have to work at building a framework in which new learning and understanding can occur. After the frame work is complete, the students must pave a way to the next grade level, crossing the bridge slowly and with purpose. In the end, we all reach the other side, richer for the experience, and ready to build another new bridge. So, it's time to don our "hard hats" and get to work.
