Excellence does not mean we must meet a certain standard or be the best.
Excellence means always pursuing learning, growth, and positive change—not because we’re bad—but because we can be even better.
Keep aiming for excellence!

10 cards numbered 0-9. Pairs are place in envelopes with their sums written on the front of the envelope. If envelopes show 7 8 13 14 3, what cards are contained. Then 6 11 13 10 5, then 9 5 5 12 4, then 8 11 11 10 5. One of these is a real doozy and Ss show wonderful reasoning.
