From the Principal’s Desk
Dear Parents,
Next month the school will hold its annual Academic and Fine Arts Competition. We have the competition, even though it requires a lot of work by everyone involved, in order to develop the well-roundedness of the students and to give students who excel in particular areas the occasion to hone their skills in those areas. The outcomes in student growth are well worth the efforts put into helping them succeed. So, I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to help your child grow in the events offered in the competition.
But the competition will only be to you what you are to it. In other words, what you put into it is what you will get out of it. What I have found over the years is that the students who work the hardest preparing for the various events end up getting rewarded the most. Some students have natural skill in certain areas, and we can all be happy about that. But everyone can achieve, but most of their achievement comes down to how hard they work, and that comes down to how much you as the parent are involved with them and how much you expect from them.
The teachers are going to do all that they can to help your child succeed, but the rest is up to you and your child. I encourage you to spend the time working with your child on the Bible quizzing, on the speech memory, and whatever other events he is in. Also, have your child sign up for as many events as you think he can safely manage. Some students are go-getters; others would rather do less than do more. My advice to you is that you help your child excel, to be the best that he can be. Don’t let him settle for second best.
We want your children to do their best, and we want to bring out their full potential. But you as the parent must take the lead. If we work together, we can accomplish great things for and with your child.
Sincerely,
Pastor Sutton
