📖 Scripture Connection

Philippians 3:13-14

“Brothers, I don't consider myself to have taken hold of it yet. But one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

— Philippians 3:13-14 (WEB)

Just as Paul reflects on his spiritual journey and presses forward, students will reflect on their mathematical growth and look ahead to future learning
