In my first week of school I asked the students to decorate their math binders with their names. One student got out his red pen and meticulously wrote out the entire credo on the cover of his binder. The credo reads:We believe.
We believe in the creation of inspired lives
produced by desire, discipline, and dedication.
We are not frightened by the challenges of reality
but believe that we can change our world and our place within it.
We work, plan, create and dream.
Our talent, character, and integrity will be the tools we need
to build a better tomorrow.
We believe that we can take this place, this time,
and the people here
and build a better place, a better time, and a better people.
As a team and a fmily, we will either find a way or make one.
Jenny,
