 Mr. Wagner's Letter
We spend quite a bit of time each year, especially in the spring, talking to our students about making good decisions, fighting temptation, and being true to themselves by not giving in to peer pressure. With the excitement of Prom this weekend and graduation right around the corner, spring is prime time for students to make bad decisions. Unfortunately, it is also prime time for parents to make bad decisions. We have done our best to share our thoughts with the students. At the risk of offending, I would like to share some thoughts with the parents. (more...)
