What You Are Is As Important As What You Do

by: Patricia Fripp, A Cup of Chicken Soup for the Soul
It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, "How much is it to get in?"
The young man replied, "$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?"
Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00."
The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have known the difference." Bobby replied, "Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference."
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying." In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.

(Shared the story with my ethics class today. Read it! I think it is very meaningful.)

No one seemed injured, however if your child feels any pain later, please take her to see a doctor. Please keep me informed if necessary. Please call me if you need more clarification.

Sharing from my Ethics Lesson

Dear all,
Just to share with you some videos that I shared with the girls today during Ethics lesson.
YOU ALWAYS TRY YOUR HARDEST TO BE THE VERY BEST.
Did you? Do you always try your hardest? To be a good friend, to be a good daughter, to be a good sister, to be a good pupil? Everyone is different, but we cannot fail ourselves. By being the very best, it is not letting yourself down, but putting in the most effort to get things done. It is not simply getting the highest marks or running the fastest. It is about the attitude.




As you watch the following video, think about how, a pupil like you is just like a runner who is trying his or her best to complete a marathon.

Dear Parents / Guardians,

Compliments of the seasons!

As Track and Field is the school’s niche CCA, it is very important that your child commits to the training sessions during both school term and the school holidays.

Training sessions during school term will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Serangoon Junior College. National Inter-Primary School Track and Field Championships 2010 will be held in Term 2 from 16 April to 28 April instead of the usual Term 3.

The team trains hard under the leadership of our coach, Mr Lim Tiang Quee (http://redsports.sg/2008/07/16/lim-tiang-quee-coach), and had received their national championships for the past four years. Members of the team had also represented Singapore in Western Australia and Indonesia for international competitions. Through Direct School Admission, many team members also secured places in schools like Singapore Sports School, Nanyang Girls, St. Nicholas Girls, Cedar, Tanjong Katong Girls, etc.

Training session begins this Tuesday (12/01/10). Pupils were informed last week. Pupils must gather at the canteen by 2.15 pm and the bus will bring them to SRJC at 2.30 pm (arrival approximately 3 pm). The bus will bring the pupils back at 5 pm from SRJC and should approximately arrive by 5.30 pm (under smooth traffic conditions). Please make transport arrangement to bring your child home from school at 5.30 pm.

Pupils are advised to bring along a small towel, light snacks, water bottle and their running shoes. For the purchase of spike shoes, pupils will be advised at a later date.

Let’s work together to enable your child to maximize her potential with the team!

Thank you for your co-operation.

Regards,

Mrs Lim Xiaoxin
