3 PRINCIPAL'S POINTS
New beginnings are nice.
With each new year, we get
the opportunity to wipe the
slate clean and begin with new
. goals and new resolutions. I
have developed my "want" list
of 1998, and I would like to
share a portion of it with you.
• I want to do things with
"excellence." As I have stated
before, one thing that makes
this school successful is high
expectations by teachers, par-
ents and the community.
• I want students to get the
most out of their school day
and year. I once told a student
who was not doing her home-
work and not participating in
class, "You should be demand-
ing that I give you a good
education instead of my hav-
ing to beg you to get one."
Students need to be reminded
of how fortunate they are to
live in a country and a state
that chooses to educate ev-
eryone. .
• I want teachers to chal-
lenge students to produce
quality work, not work that
just "gets by." It is important
that teachers provide stu-
dents with the opportunity to
"struggle" to gain success.
• I want parents to share
with their children what their
educational expectations are
for them. I would hope that
parents would help their chil-
dren nee that their main '•job"
. rightmowiis to gain allof the
knowledge and experiences
they can to provide a strong
foundation for future learn-
ing and for living.
• I want school to be a
happy and safe place for stu-
: dents. It takes "all of us* to
make it such a place.
i PTO MEETING
Albany PTO will meet at
nses January 13at7:00p.m.
Jim Rooks will present a pro-
gram about the Texas Tomor-
row Fund, a program which
allows parents to begin pay-
ing for their children's college
education at today's prices. If
parents have not considered
this option or are unfamiliar
with it, they need to put this
date on their calendars to get
more information about this
opportunity.
✓✓✓
With the beginning of a new
semester, parents need to
check with their children to be
sure the student has all the
supplies needed.
✓✓✓
The second grade classes
were very busy reading before
the Christmas holidays. The
Accelerated Reader program
provides special recognition
for students as they earn
points from computer testing
on the books they have read.

tin Gardenhire and Corbin
Kitchens. The 50 Point Club
