SCHOOL RALLY...

Were you at the school rally last Friday? It was not only intended to pump up our juniors, but to also tell ALL of our students that we believe in you!

Many times we get busy teaching and are so focused on getting you to learn that we forget to tell you we believe in you. Plus, students often mistake their teachers' "demands" and "pushiness" as us being upset with you or not liking you...when in fact, we're just trying to get our students to realize the potential we see in them.

The most frustrating part of being a teacher for me is to see students waste the potential they have to do great things and "settle" for less than the best just because they don't want to push themselves to be all they can be. Hopefully, over the last couple of weeks we have reached you in some way to let you know that we are here for you, our students, and that we want you to be the very best you can be at everything....classwork, tests, sports, competitions, and yes PSSA tests! After all, you know what my friend Chad Foster says...."never let anyone tell you that your best isn't good enough"....but you also know my follow-up "BE SURE TO BE YOUR VERY BEST & THEN THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH!"

WAHS TEACHERS ROCK IT FOR THEIR STUDENTS:
