Welcome to Beecher Prep!
Welcome August!

Tips
What to look forward to
Egyptian Museum-Don't worry about people seeing your face. You get to wear a costume.
Halloween Parade- You should wear a costume, it's a parade...
5th Grade Nature Retreat-Lucky for you, Julian thinks this is stupid, so he won't be there to ruin your trip. During this time, you become closer friends with Amos, Henry and Miles. More of that later, though...
Graduation- Mr. Tushman's speech is long and boring, so prepare. You also get a standing ovation, finally!
Who to Avoid?
Amos
Henry
Miles
As in every school, there are bullies. Because of your face, Auggie, you might just happen to be a bigger target. As long as you stick by friends, and try your hardest to avoid them, bullies shouldn't come your way. Julian walks around like a know-it-all and acts like he owns the school. He doesn't take a second to consider that there might be something hidden underneath someone's appearance (In your case, your face is your appearance). At first, Amos, Henry, and Miles seem like bad people, but at the 5th grae Nature Retreat, you learn more about them. Originally, they would just follow Julian around and he would be their leader. Later on, as the war between Jack and August subsided, the boys -apart from Julian- become better friends with Jack and Auggie.
Who to be friends or trustworthy with
Jack Will
Summer
Charlotte
ZackAlex
Christopher
It's always good to have a few trustworthy and friendly people. Many people might find it hard to be friends with you because of your appearance, but the ones you do make, are for life. Jack, at the beginning of the year is asked by Mr. Tushman to help make Auggie feel more welcome. Jack agrees, but Julian wants to be friends with Jack. On Halloween, Jack and Julian start talking about Auggie, but they did't realize he was in the room. Because Julian was around, Jack bad mouthed Auggie, and they got into a little fight, but they resolved this and became friends again. Summer sat with Auggie on the first day of school, and since then, they had been close friends. Summer didn't care what people though of her on that day she sat done with Auggie at his table. Charlotte had never really been close friends with Auggie, but she was friendly towards him. Like Jack, she was asked by Mr. Tushman to help make Auggie feel more comfortable. She helped succeed this. Zack, Alex, and Christopher had been friends with August since they were little kids. Back when they were little, you didn't care how someone looked, you cared more for who they really were.
Staff
Mrs. Garcia-The office manager
Mr. Browne-Always look forward to his monthly precepts
Ms. Rubin- Ms. Rubin, while at first she was shocked to see you, she helped you feel more welcome.
It's always good to have a few resources...
Console in a teacher or parent such as, Mr. Tushman, Mr. Browne, or your parents. If you need help, admit it!
Find a table to eat at in lunch, so you don’t eat alone. Or maybe find someone to sit with you.
Tell a friend if something is bothering you. You don't want to be alone. But make sure you have good friends...
Ways to make friends
Find people with similar interest. You really like Science, so maybe start there. It will make it easier for friends to come.
Learn what to say out-loud and what to keep to yourself.
Be careful on who you trust. Make sure you have good friends.
How to Survive School
Choose good electives. Choose what you are good at.
Ignore what people say behind your back. You will loose all of your self confidence is you listen to what people say behind your back, so don't!
Believe in yourself. This is the most important tip someone could give you.
