Crossing That Line by Briar Ahlborn

Crossing That Line

Crossing the Line is an initiative developed by the school board and staff to show that “crossing the line” is a good thing, if you make it good. Crossing that line between doing average in school and doing excellent, running fast when you could go faster, getting a C-, then crossing the line to getting that A+ you strive for. Well, you get the idea; crossing the line to getting better and better each day.

Stand up for yourself against the negative aspects in life whether it involve school, your job, bullies, or difficult tasks, run at them with positivity and the confidence that you can do it. Don’t just say that you’ll “try” say you are going to “do it,” and you will.

Cross the Line in our school has more meaning than expected: demonstrating integrity, achieve excellence, working hard, gaining respect, and sharing responsibility. Crossing the Line is to demonstrate all of the above, to make the school environment of St. Ignatius an enjoyable place to attend, a wonderful place to send your children to learn and grow.

Cross that line, wake up in the morning and achieve excellence. Do what you normally wouldn’t do, get out of that shell, think outside the box, do great and you, yourself, will be great. Cross the line is set like a finish line that keeps your mind and body going. Create a goal for yourself every day and strive for it until you achieve it. Then set another thus making an endless positive future for yourself and others day by day, just by crossing that line into the next day.
