2. The Tiger Clause: Our Student Pledge
We, the students of Thompson, pledge to: Be on time everyday and put forth our best effort by participating in the learning opportunities offered to us, demonstrate good character at all times and take responsibility for our actions. We pledge to make our school a positive, caring environment in which we respect our differences and where we pull others up instead of putting them down.

Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the "Happiest Place on Earth". Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared 'the joy of Disney'.
Colonel Sanders spent two years driving across the United States looking for restaurants to buy his chicken recipe. He was turned down 1,009 times! How successful is Kentucky Fried Chicken today?
You must constantly reevaluate your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. Sometimes you have to modify your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and therefore find a better way to do it the next time.
