At your Induction, you service to our country, church, school, and community.  In the routine of the day’s work, many opportunities arise to help others.  Those who serve others are repaid with a feeling of good which comes from within.  Being committed to service means having a willingness to work for the benefit of those in need, without monetary compensation or recognition.  It is what our Lord taught us when he washed the feet of the apostles and said, “As I do, so should you do”.

It shall be my earnest purpose to give unsparingly of my time and energy toward the promotion of all school activities.
