Poem of the week: "Practice what you preach by Ben L. Byer"

It's easier to preach than to practice

It's easier to say than to do.

Most sermons are heard by the many

But taken to heart by the few.

It's easier to cheer than to battle

It's easier to stay than to go.

To drift you but lay down the oars

To go upstream you must row.

**As an added bonus to kick off Spring, we have recently started a relationship with Anytime Fitness to provide some reduced cost health services to our employees. See the image below for more information, and feel free to contact Debbie Willman if you have any questions about what services Anytime Fitness can provide you. Also, our district will be offering payroll deduction in September starting in the 2013-2014 school year.
