CADET CHALLENGE--JUST FOR FUN

A wise king devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess' hand in marriage. The Princess was put in a 50 x 50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess' hand would be the winner and become the new King.

The rules were the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic, telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles, etc.). One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King. What did he do?

CADETS LEAD THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE


Every morning at the start of the school day we are asked to rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.  Sadly, many don't.  This is disgraceful.  Failure to rise is not a matter of exercising one's freedom of thought, it is pure laziness.  It is disrepectful.  Even if one is not an American citizen, simply rising for the pledge without actually taking it is a matter of being polite and respectful--it's kind of like saying please and thank you or taking a little bit of food that has been offered because to refuse would be insulting.    

Take a moment and listen to the Red Skelton's speech linked below, and please, without being obnoxious about it, encourage your classmates to stand for the Pledge.  Lead by example--when you stand, stand tall and say it clearly. Think about what it means.

THE JOB ISN'T FINISHED UNTIL THE PAPERWORK IS DONE CORRECTLY!

This is an example of paperwork that has been handled carelessly and turned in late.  Shameful.  #Don't let this happen to you!


Remember:
