Welcome to the Johnson - Curry homepage!  If you've found this page, chances are you are one of our students, a parent, or just someone with amazing computer hacking skills!  Either way, we hope you find our site to be informative and helpful as we progress down the road towards middle school.

 "What gives with the picture of Rocky?" you may be asking yourself.  For those of you who have or have not seen the movie Rocky Balboa (2006), there is a particular conversation Rocky has with his grown son that puts the challenges of LIFE into excellent perspective!  Personally, we find this passage very inspirational: 


Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!” 

This movie is powerful; one can go through every emotion imaginable while watching it. There are some humorous parts in the movie, there are some sad parts of the movie. The same can be said about life and school!  Our goal is to instill within you with the necessary skills to help you take those hits and keep on moving!  This website is designed to help you dodge and bounce back from each "hit", so that when you move on, you know your self-worth and what it takes to be/do your best always!
