Happy Friday everyone!
Lou Holtz reminds us:
“Today everybody wants to talk about their rights and their privileges.
50 years ago, people talked about their obligation and responsibility.
You have obligations to other people.
If you want to fail, you have the right to fail.
You do not have the right to cause other people to fail because you do not do everything to the very best of your ability.”
This message speaks directly to who we are as a school community. At Battle Creek Public Schools, we hold high expectations because we believe in each other. Responsibility, strong work ethic, and doing your very best aren’t just personal choices—they impact everyone around you.
Students, your effort matters. Teachers, your leadership matters. Parents, your support & involvement matters. When each of us commits to giving our best, we create an environment where everyone can succeed.
That’s why Battle Creek Public Schools is committed to excellence—because every role, every action, and every day makes a difference.
As spring gets into full swing and the end of the year continues to draw closer, we all can use a reminder of our responsibility and obligation to each other.
Happy Friday!
