S.S.S Paul Hatch

Student Success Statement

"When you tell ONE lie, it leads to ANOTHER."
Paul Hatch

Reflection: Paul Hatch is right because when you think you are telling one little lie you are still hurting someone. In addition to telling a lie and almost getting caught, you tell another lie to cover it up and then you end up contradicting yourself and telling more lies. It is never good to tell a lie no matter how small and harmless it may seem.

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy boy, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.
