Second Grade Creed
Today I am here to learn. I have the right to fail, but it is my choice to succeed. I do not have the right to prevent my teacher from teaching, and other students from learning. I will proudly respect myself and others who try to succeed in learning.
While I have the opportunity I will use each day to the fullest. Good choices today will help me succeed along life’s way.
