The Power of Optimism
   


I hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather.  We are off to a great start as we enter the third full week of school.  The power of optimism and determination is in the air.  Our sports teams are in full force and representing BT in a great way.  Don't forget to come out and begin to build relationships with your child's teachers by attending the remaining Back-To-School nights that will be held this week.  

Don't forget to spread the word about our first Falcon Parent University.  We are pleased to welcome Chris Lubbe from South Africa, who will share his story of optimism and hope as well as share stories about his time with Nelson Mandela.

Have an awesome week!

Liz
