“Cultivate Virtue in oneself, and Virtue will be real.

Cultivate Virtue in the family, and Virtue will grow.

Cultivate Virtue in the village, and Virtue will spread.

Cultivate Virtue in the nation, and Virtue will be plenty.

Cultivate Virtue in the world, and Virtue will triumph everywhere.”

A reminder from Student Council:

The third annual door decorating contest is here!
The most creative door will win
The best ideas are thoughtful and come from within
So put on your thinking cap and grab yourself a map
Because the theme is species that are endangered
Once you pick your idea it’s final- don’t be a changer
If you want to win a cake participate for pete’s sake
Celebrate earth day by reusing, reducing and recycling all your materials Your time starts now!

When we look at your doors we want to say wow and how! Good luck Panthers! All doors need to be completed by April 4^th
