Panther Pride Focus
Welcome back, Panther Nation! We hope you had a fantastic and rejuvenating summer. We are thrilled to have you back to school with us! We enjoyed getting to see many of your faces during last Thursday’s open house and we are excited to watch all our Panthers in action as Fall Activities get into full swing! We heard so many positive comments about how enthusiastic and ready you all are to kick off the school year. As in years past, our first Panther Pride Focus (PPF) is all about Setting the Tone. Based on the positive energy you brought last week, you’re already on the right path.
Every new school year is a blank slate, a chance to make it whatever you want it to be. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past, this is another opportunity for a fresh start. This year can be your best one yet, as long as you believe in yourself. Let your positive actions speak volumes. Show everyone that this year, you’re serious about being the best version of yourself. You’re ready to ace your grades, perform outstandingly, win big games, and be the kindest person you’ve ever been. It all starts now Setting the Tone!
