Summer is officially over and SRBCL SY 2009- 2010 is off to a flying start. I hope that everybody spent the summer wisely and used it to unwind, recharge, discover new things, and yes, to learn and broaden one’s skills.
We open the school year with much hope that everybody is ready and willing to experience the whole learning journey with us. Each school year brings about change, new goals, and a fresh beginning. More so this school year as SRBCL enters the 10th year of its existence.
“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement, nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” (Helen Keller)
Kids, open up and take advantage of new learning opportunities, make friends, enjoy the year ahead, and build on your dreams.
“Get happiness out of your work or you may never know what happiness is.” (Elbert Hubbard)
Parents and guardians, we thank you in advance for whatever support and cooperation you’ll extend to us to truly make it a memorable school year for your kids. The school can only do so much to educate, shape and mold your children. A large part of their learning, their character formation, and value system is a reflection of the environment you provide for them. With our concerted efforts, we as a team can hope to be rewarded by a God-fearing child graced with confidence, kindness and wisdom.
“Learning is a social process that occurs through interpersonal interaction within a cooperative context. Individuals, working together, construct shared understanding and knowledge.” (David Johnson)
To the faculty and staff of SRBCL, my heartfelt gratitude in your willingness to embark on yet another year of teaching, learning, fun, laughter, and tears with me. Dedication to your calling serves our pupils well, betters you as persons, but most of all infinitely pleases our Maker.
“Education… is a painful, continual, and difficult work to be done in kindness, by watching, by warning… by praise, but above all – by example.” (John Ruskin)
Welcome and all aboard for SY 2009 – 2010!
