Amazing Raider Families,

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” ~Thomas Edison~

We are 14 days aways from the end of the school year!

As we close this school year, I want to encourage you to continue to be strong and not give up. In 2008, a track and field runner from the University of Minnesota, Heather Dorniden, was running in a heat to move to the next round when in the middle of the race, she tripped and fell. She immediately got up and ran her heart out and won that heat. It is considered one of the most memorable comeback in the history of sports. She did not give up. She is not remembered for winning that heat; she is remembered for falling down, getting up and finished the race. Winning it was icing on the cake. Students, some of you may be in the situation where you want to give up. I encourage you to continue and finish strong so that you do not have regrets.

Have a great week!

Easter Finley, Principal
