Huge shoutout to Mr. Paradowksi for practicing such excellent communication with parents and students. I have seen this in both of the years that my two oldest boys have had 6th grade PE with him. Though we greatly appreciate all of the teachers my boys have had, Mr. Paradowksi’s communication easily stands out as the most clear and consistent, and PE is always a fun topic of conversation at home!

It is a pleasure to work with Leah Steeler. She has the enthusiasm of a rookie teacher combined with the mastery of an excellent veteran teacher. She loves her students and the feeling is reciprocal.

Adversity creates an opportunity for learning and growth. Growth can be uncomfortable but it's necessary.

Make the choice to be great and manifest your destiny.

Life is a series of choices. Choose wisely.

Just because we make a mistake doesn't mean it's the end. Make a choice to do better and be better.

We are a complication of our good decisions and bad decisions. Life provides us with an opportunity to learn and grow. Take the opportunity to learn from our past to improve in the future.

Eric M, congratulations on earning the first Grando the Mando in Ms. T's class for demonstrating great behavior, being kind, and being a wonderful human being. You are a Grandolorian.
