Pershing K-8 Update: Nov. 4th

Chapter 3 of P.J. Fleck's Row the Boat is about embracing life’s challenges with a relentless spirit and an unwavering belief in the power of teamwork and resilience. This chapter reminds you that the journey ahead won’t always be calm waters, but it’s in those moments of adversity that your true strength is revealed. Keep rowing, no matter how fierce the storm. Trust in your purpose, lean on your crew, and believe that every stroke moves you forward. Remember, success is not in reaching the destination but in how passionately you row through every chapter of life.

Let’s have a wonderful week!

You should now be able to see the location of your session on November 5 in Kickup. In addition, you can check the Teach Forward November Catalog for details. Plan to arrive at your session for an 8AM start. With sessions spread out across the district to accommodate enrollments, plan to bring your own drink(s) and snacks. Thanks in advance for your understanding!
