Power up!

School is a “do it yourself” project!

Take the responsibility for your social, academic and individual growth by getting involved! Participate in class, do your homework, be prepared, join clubs, volunteer to help in activities and if you are so inclined, join an athletic team or the band.

You have the power to make school wonderful. Remember, your memories of school days, throughout your life, are totally up to you. The power is in your attitude and your actions.

Marty Zinn, retired teacher, Fresno
