Dear Game Players,

At our school everyone plays. Everyone knows the rules, everyone gets a game piece, and everyone gets a turn. Of course, we play to win the game, but we know that winning is only sweet if everyone has the same chance to win. Winning is only sweet if your opponent knows the game as well as you do.

So when we score well on a test, that reflects well on some of our ability. But if our classmates find success, that also reflects well on our ability–our ability to collaborate, teach, and work together to create an environment in which everyone finds success. Because our greatest victory will be in the success of one another.

Sincerely, 

Mr. Heimbuck
