November Precept

I would like to share a precept each month with staff and students. These precepts will consist of powerful quotes or ideas that cause us to think about and help to guide our actions, both individually and when interacting with others. At the end of each month, I will honor any students who have responded to the precept, by sharing his/her thoughts on what it means to them, by asking them to serve as Pledge Leaders.

 

Our November Precept:

“It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.” -James Thurber

The following thank-you message is from Deerfield parent and Project Giving Kids board member, Wendy Thurmond:

Thank you for your support of Project Giving Kids Create the Change 2016. The Deerfield school was a huge supporter of the event, from the toiletry drive to attending that day. We should all be so proud of our school.
