Vince Lombardi, the great football coach, said, “We must pay a price for success. It’s like anything worthwhile. It has a price. You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible. Most important, you must pay the price to stay there. Success is not a ‘sometimes thing. In other words, you don’t do what is right “once in a while”, but all the time. Success is a habit. Winning is a habit.”

Congratulations to everyone on a wonderful program last night. I appreciate and want to personally congratulate Mrs. Bennett for putting together the program to showcase all the wonderful talents. Thank you, teachers, for supporting your students and participating in the program. Your presence was an excellent way to show your love and care for Belle Valley students.

Excellence takes practice. Arthur Rubinstein once said the following about practicing his music:
“If I miss one day, I notice it.
If I miss two days, my friends notice it.
If I miss three days, the public notices it.”

When the door of happiness closes another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

People who are content learn to spend quiet time by themselves. It is a great stress reliever to reflect upon your actions and think about important decisions.
Did you know you have the power to choose a teacher to be turned into a human Christmas tree at the Holiday Assembly? Start bringing in your loose change and fill up your grade levels’ jug in the morning. The grade level that raises the most money will get to choose several teachers to be turned into human Christmas Trees!
