*You made it everyone!  You got through 180 days of school and I hope that you can say you have learned some things!
Remember to have respect for yourself and continue to learn - knowledge is a gift you give to yourself and it opens the world to you.


“No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.” 
― L. Frank Baum, The Lost Princess of Oz

I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That's what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that's from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.Bertrand Russell 
Have a fun and safe summer and remember - TAKE CARE OF EARTH!
