As Spidey says each week...  Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man.   You too have great power.. Be responsible.  REMEMBER You can do great things!

AND as always, you are amazing, incredible people with the whole world waiting to be changed by YOU!

Be SUPER This Week!
