To create a community in which we all feel comfortable being our true selves—not only comfortable, but supported and celebrated.

Because when you feel good about yourself, you are more able to excel in school. Besides, who doesn't want to feel good about themselves? Who doesn't want others to feel good about themselves?

Pull the thumb, instead of pointing the finger.
 * What we will do:**

A willingness to listen and learn from ourselves and each other. A willingness to speak openly with each other Honesty—with ourselves and each other Respect—for ourselves and each other
