Welcome Back to WHS for 2017-18!
The "Official" Back to School Letter from Dave Danielski
Dear WHS Staff,
At Hammerschmidt we are blessed with a fantastic school staff and a truly supportive school community. These things all promote academic and social emotional growth for our students. In reflection about what we can collaboratively do to take our great school to the next level, I realized we need to learn from the very best out there, the CHAMPIONS!
Throughout this school year our students will learn that champions are leaders who personify specific characteristics and maintain habits for success. With your help, we can utilize the frameworks below to prepare our students for a successful future where they are "Learning and Leading Like Champions!" This will be our school theme for 2017-18.
CHAMPIONS:
C- Cooperative and Courageous
H- Holds Habits for Success
A- Attitude is Positive
M- Motivated
P- Purposeful and Persistent
I- Involved
O- Organized and Open Minded
N- Nurturing and
S- Supportive of Others
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
The Adventures of South Pole Pig
The Leader in Me
Kids Deserve It
