Mission Label:


Mission
As the language arts teacher, I will develop students' communication skills through challenging activities that relate to real life. I encourage students to actively participate in their own success through a variety of assessments. I will maintain a classroom atmosphere of respect, justice, and humor. The CLASS OF 2010 wrote its mission statement and recites it everyday in order to be ever mindful of their goals as the leaders of St. Agnes Catholic School. Their mission statement is as follows: The St. Agnes Catholic School graduating class of 2010 will be responsible leaders by setting a good example for younger students; follow Christ by praying, serving, and giving to others; and be respectful by giving care to others, their property, and their feelings.
