"The School Family builds connection between families and schools, teachers and teachers, teachers and students, and students and students to ensure the optimal development of all. 


These connections provide the three essential ingredients for school success:

* A willingness to learn    * Impulse control    *  Attention" 






~ Brandon Fernandez, teenager who founded EXPRESSIONS: a program designed to teach young children how to express themselves through poetry and photography:
We never have to hold our feelings inside. Whether we express ourselves through speech, poetry, or photography, every one of us has a voice with something of value to say. Now, we can be heard.







Dr. Seuss: You have brains in your head, and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
