HMS Bearcat Bulletin
February 2017
A Note from Ms. Buschmann
Eddie shared a message of Being Your Best Self. He related a story about his dad always demanding he be THE best. After taking 2nd place at the State Cross-Country Meet in Illinois, Eddie was afraid his dad would be disappointed. Of course he was elated- 2nd place out of 1000 runners was a tremendous accomplishment and his dad was bursting with pride. It was then that Eddie realized we could not always be THE Best, but we could always be OUR Best. That message is ever so important for adolescents to hear and Eddie conveyed it in a touching way, along with a little dancing.
We were able to bring this program to Hermann by partnering with the High School Student Council and making use of the Middle School Principal's Incentive Fund. Thank you for your continued support of this through Cardinal Calendar sales and Bearcats at the Ballpark.

Student of the Month
The character trait of the month for January was Confidence. Students watched a lesson about how to develop confidence and the main idea was about having a Growth Mindset. We may not all be able to do things perfectly the first time, but we can try and we can get better. I've included the video below.
