-Gold Medalist Jesse Owens
Jaguar Family,
Jesse Owens speaks to the battles that
matter—the battles to further oneself. It is
easy to stay up late and sleep in; it’s easy to
watch TV or go online instead of doing
homework. These are the daily battles that
matter! Win these battles! Get a good night’s
rest, use your planner to stay organized, set
aside time for homework and study. Quarter 1
ends in THIRTEEN DAYS, and RCPU is
November 17th and 18th. Set a goal for
yourself to earn a strong GPA in Quarter One
and work hard to meet that goal over the next
few weeks. Set yourself up for a great RCPU
Conversation!
Best,
JRLA Team
