2010 

Its the end of another wonderful year at Buffalo's Best!  Westminster Community Charter School has allowed me one more opportunity to pour into the lives of so many young people in my community.  I appreciate my time here and always cherish the beautiful smiles from so many bright young minds.

This year was full of surprises, fun, laughter, tears and joy.  I hope that the summer will prove to be a time of refreshing, rejuvenation, enlightenment and most of all rest.  I challenge all of you to take a moment to assess your educational goals.   Check to see if you are making progress in your short-term goals.  Where are you in the process of your success journey.  If you find that you are at a standstill, motivate yourself and pick up your feet in mobilization.  Move towards better.  Move towards vision.  Move towards positivity. 

If you lack focus, find someone that can assist you and hold you accountable.  Find a teacher, tutor, friend and confidant that will push you forward into your destiny of success.  I hope for each of you that you will find yourself on the path towards greatness past the classroom.

Use your educational time wisely.  Time can never be returned to you and once its gone its too late.  So plan wisely.  Stay focused and make great choices for yourself.

Time is moving so fast and there is no turning back.
I hope that you are taking the time to challenge yourself in your reading and writing.  Take time for math and other subjects that interest you. 

I also challenge you to take a moment and volunteer in the community.  Find a senior citizen place, the Salvation Army, the City Mission, Food Bank or church group that is helping out in the community.  Share the joy of giving with those not related to you.  Thankfulness can stretch beyond your five senses of you receive. 
Set your eyes on the highest goal and work hard everyday to make small steps toward meeting and exceeding your expectations.

I am here to help you succeed.  I am here to guide you along the way.  Please use me as a service and tool to help you meet your goal.  My expectations of you are set high, and I will do my best to assist you in meeting your goals.

Today is a new day.....do something new and improved to get the best out of today.

Key words to remember: “ You are someone special…act like it!”
