“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In January, Raven Scholars SOAR with Academic Focus while maintaining positive relationships within our learning community.
This means:
- We respect our own intelligence and the intelligence of others and persevere when things are hard;
- We use our devices responsibly only to support our learning. Otherwise they are put away;
- Every day we maintain positive relationships by listening, learning, and supporting our differences and commonalities.
