Daily Affirmation

Ferguson is my school and I will honor it.
It is the place where I learn and I will take care of it.
At school, I will treat everyone with kindness and respect.
I am a student, I will learn, and do my very best.
Someday I’ll achieve my hopes and dreams
and do great things in this life.
I am somebody, talented, gifted and special, and my future is very bright.

En mi escuela, tratare a todos con carino y respeto.
Soy un estudiante, aprendere, y siempre hare lo major que puedo.
