What is our country’s most valued asset?
Well some would say it’s our gold in Fort Knox
Or our immense forests and powerful rivers of our national parks,
Others might reply it is our numerous oil fields in Alaska and Texas…
However, it is in fact,
Our students.

Even our teachers started as
Students
Our country’s safety, wellbeing, and future is guaranteed by our
Students.
Students who stay up studying past the point of exhaustion just to make sure they pass their next exam.
Students who deal with the pressures of fitting in amongst their peers,
Who are forced to deal with new and strange feelings every day.
Students who strive to please their teachers and mentors while still finding time, energy, and focus to play sports and participate in extracurricular activities…
Striving hard through their youth to become something more than themselves.
To better their family and community in the ways they are best suited.
Self-chosen by their own perseverance and decisions made, as they are sculpted by their surroundings moving forward into life.
Our students have no place or time for fear.
Protecting our students…
Starts with you!!!
