Part of being a successful agent is taking responsibility for one’s own choices. We have designed our agency goals in order that each child will personalize these standards and make
appropriate, responsible choices in and out of the classroom.
Borrowed from some of America’s greatest leaders, our classrooms goals serve to inspire us to be people who make a difference!

I WILL MAKE MY OWN GOOD CHOICES“It is better to be alone than in bad company.” ~George Washington
I WILL ALWAYS GIVE MY BEST EFFORT“Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence.” ~Unknown
I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE SAME AS I WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED...WITH RESPECT!
“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” ~Abraham Lincoln
I WILL KEEP OUR CLASSROOM & SCHOOL CLEAN & SAFE“I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.” ~Abraham Lincoln
I WILL COMPLETE MY WORK ON TIME (AND NEATLY!)“You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” Abraham Lincoln
