Mrs. Delbridge's Favorite Quotes:

What the caterpillar thinks is the end of life, the butterfly thinks is just the beginning.

My dad's quote: Let's strive for perfection because even if we don't hit perfection, we can still arrive at excellence!

The students have been taught to think before they speak about these three questions:

1. Is it kind?

2. Is it true?

3. Is it necessary?

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me at delbridge@fultonschools.org  I will get back to you as soon as I can!
