What a wonderful day welcoming our future middle school students from William Penn, Central, and Mt. Vernon! It was exciting to see so many smiling faces as our 5th graders got a glimpse of what awaits them next year.
Thank you to our school counselors, students, staff, PTOs, & families for helping make today such a special experience. Middle school is going to be an amazing place for these students, and we are excited to welcome the Class of 2033 next year!

@SportPsychTips Tom Brady said, "To be great at something, you don't need to be special. You just need to be what most people aren't - Consistent. Determined. Willing to work for it. No shortcuts."

It comes from consistency, hard work, and discipline.
