Opening School Assembly #DaretoDream
Welcome to the 2021 school year. "We encourage every single one of you to dream big this year. Whether that be handing in all of your homework and assignments on time, or setting goals for your grades this semester, or figuring out what you want to do after high school, we implore you, not only dream, but work towards making those dreams a reality."
