Message from Mr. Hunter
Dear Discovery Families,
As we prepare to embark on week ten of our 25-26 School year journey together, I am amazed at the speed in which the year is progressing. We are already done with report card period one! I can vividly recall the first day like it was yesterday. As always, time is not on our side. Time only favors the prepared. Planning and preparation is the best and only way to make the most of our time. In the words of Confucius, "success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure." Benjamin Franklin put it bluntly as, "if you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail." The question is.....how prepared are we for each day. Do we visualize the success we plan to have for the day or are we hoping for a good day. We can have great days, if we plan for them. Our children can have great days, if we teach them to be prepared. Prepare to win each day family.
π Home and School United, not divided! π
