Days marked with a BW indicates that all students and staff have an off day. Days marked with a BW/TW indicates that students will have an off day and teacher will have a work day on this date.

Easter is a good time to enjoy all of your many meaningful blessings: family, friends, Jesus, and, of course, chocolate molded into tasty bunnies. I hope you all have blessed Easter weekend.
Kindness is in our power even when fondness is not.
~Henry James~
Compassion is language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
~Mark Twain~
Carry a heart that never hates, a smile that never fades and a touch that never hurts.
Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.
~Robert Brault~
Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you, not because they are nice but because you are.
Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up.
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you will remember. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.
Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.
~Rudyard Kipling~
Don't be yourself — be someone nicer.
Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it.
Love your enemies - it will confuse them greatly.
There is one word which may serve as a rule for all one's life -- reciprocity.
~Confucius~
Grownups know that little things matter and that relationships are based on respect.
Don't wait for people to be friendly, show them how.
~Henry James~
The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway.
~Henry Boyle~
When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.
~Abraham Heschel~
If we should deal out justice only in this world, who would escape? No, it is better to be generous for it gains us gratitude.
~Mark Twain~
Be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, tolerant of the weak.
CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY!
