Henry Kissinger

A new school year is full of opportunities for growth, having fun, excelling and making life-long friends. Take it one day at a time. The unexpected — will happen. You have many responsibilities and cannot do everything or make everyone happy. Grow your community of support early. Together, you’ll thrive.
