Dear Diamond Fork Parents,
In recent weeks we have talked about our five core values of courage, compassion, respect, integrity and perseverance. The impetus for the five values came from our mission statement that reads, “We empower students to think critically, live responsibly and lead ethically.” Our students practice core values by living the mission of the school. We believe when we act in accordance with our mission, we will become productive members of our citizenry.
When considering critical thinking, Adrienne Rich, a 20th century poet and writer concluded, “Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work.” We grapple with hard work in our everyday lives and it is necessary that we can critically analyze the information put before us – that we can make something of it – something constructive.
You are raising and we are privileged to teach our future. Thank you for allowing us this opportunity.
