Amazing Raider Families,

“Whenever you have taken up work in hand, you must see it to the finish. That is the ultimate secret of success. Never, never, never give up!” ~Dada Vaswani~

We are 24 days away from the end of the school year.

Congratulations to our Boys Volleyball team who persevered in five sets to beat rival San Ysidro last Friday. As we waited to honor the seniors, one of the players told me that we will most likely lose because San Ysidro beat us 3-0 the last time we met. After losing the first set, we won the second. San Ysidro won the third and we won the 4th game in a tight finish. So it was going to be decided on the 5th game. And our boys held on to become co-league champions with San Ysidro. I wish you could have been there for the elation that the boys felt. Throughout the match, I saw the mental toughness they demonstrated to see them finish the match into a win. They could have lost and it would have been still a success because of they mentally stayed in the game. But a win and a championship makes the fight to finish even more sweet. Every aspect of our lives is about finishing strong. If you start something, finish it. The worst thing to have is regrets of unfinished work that you set out to do. Raiders, as you finish the year, do not give up. Instead, finish strong with what you started.

Have a great week!
