“A good education can change anyone. A good teacher can change anything!” -Unknown. Have you ever needed a boost of advice to make your everyday school life easier? Today I have advice from some of the best aqua team teachers.

STAY ORGANIZED!!! Staying organized, leads you to my number two thing and that is to NOT GET BEHIND on your work! If you stay organized, your chances are a million times better to not fall behind in your classes. : )

Ms.Lord, 6th grade, Aqua, Science

Find ONE good friend. Someone you can trust. Someone you can talk to openly without judgment. Someone who wants you to do better- and be better and encourages you. Having just ONE good friend is one of life’s greatest gifts.

Get involved! Be involved in school in any way you can. If not sports, think about committees. Being involved builds a connection between you and your school. It doesn’t have to be a major commitment like cheer or other sports. It can be as basic as joining the Quiz Bowl. Just find a way to be involved. You’ll meet people you may have never known otherwise, and in return, gain friendships and school spirit! It’s YOUR school. Make it what you want it to be. 🙂
