ABC's of a Brighter Summer 2007!

2007-05-23T15:07:00Z

Avoid negative people, places and things

Believe yourself to be a good being possessing positive energy

Crisis is always an opportunity - please see the glass half full

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Enjoy the moment and make it magical - its' a gift - that's why they call it the present

Family, Friends and Fun make for the richest experiences of life

Good things will come to you even in your darkest moments

Heal, maintain hope and hang on to your dreams

Imagination is great than knowledge - Albert Einstein

Justice exists - what goes around comes around

Keep trying - life isn't about how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up

Love and laughter make the best medicines

Miracles abound - expect them and take time to notice their manifestation

Never compromise your ethics - "No" is always an acceptable answer

Open your mind, heart and soul

Patience and perserverance pay off in every arena of life

Quitters never win and winners never quit

Release ancient history - scripts and tapes from the past are immobilizing

Stop procastinating - Awareness + Acceptance + Action = Choice

Take time to smell the roses

Understand yourself to better understand others

Visualize world peace and let being with you now

Want better physical, emotional and spiritual health for a brighter tomorrow

X-ccelerate your efforts to achieve a peaceful balance

You are a valuable and unique creation

Zero in on your goals and go for the gold

HOW YOU LOOK MATTERS - SCHOOL DRESS POLICY

2007-05-22T17:49:00Z

Please keep in mind that being appropriately dressed, so as not to disrupt instruction, creates a positive learning environment. Remember:

All shorts and skirts should be of an appropriate length. Micro mini skirts and short shorts are not be worn unless accompanied by leg coverings;

Clothing that reveals the midriff should not be worn. Low rise pants should be be worn unless the shirt covers the midriff;

Spaghetti strap tops should not be worn;

It is unacceptable for students to bring or to wear hats, caps, headbands, "do rags", or other head coverings unless they are part of a religious attire or have been approved fro medical reasons;

Boys should not be wearing sleeveless undershirts, tank tops/muscle shirts;

It is recommended that flip-flops or open sandals not be worn for safety reasons.

We wish to promote an environment that is appropriate and comfortable for everyone at Bryant High School.

Thank you for your cooperation.
