Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying your summer. Here is the video I promised. Sorry for the delay and the one random screen shot in the middle of the video. 

Thanks again for a fantastic year and for all of the thoughtful end of year gifts. I will miss seeing you in grade 7 but look forward to watching you become grade 8 leaders. Happy Summer!

What do you believe? Write about your core beliefs. Here is an example.  

I Believe

 I believe in the love of life

The music that shakes my bones

The laughter that throws all cares away

The art of a story

The “second chance” rule

Love as an emotion, unity and forgiveness.

 I believe in what goes around comes around

I believe in fantasy as my reality

I believe in plaid pants

Mismatched socks, groovy tights and acid washed jeans.

And I believe in saying how I feel about something no matter the crowd,

 No matter the crowd
