  37. Parents as Partners Education is a journey, not a race. Children should enjoy school while working hard for their education. Anything worthwhile requires time and effort. Therefore we need to work together for the benefit of our children. Children should be encouraged to do their best at all times. If they are doing their best, the rest will fall into place, thus creating a successful and enjoyable year. Thank you for taking the time to go over all of the expectations and requirements of third grade. I am looking forward to a wonderful year!
