HMS Bearcat Bulletin
January 2018
A Note from Ms. Buschmann
Your children shared their academic goals with you at Parent-Teacher-Student conferences. Did they achieve them? What are the next steps? With the fresh start of a new semester, now is a great time to revisit those goals and set new ones.
Student of the Month
For the month of December, we recognized and celebrated students who exhibit the character trait of Empathy. When people are able to put themselves into the shoes of others, it changes their actions, words, and thoughts for the better. It is the underlying skill for being able to show sympathy, compassion, kindness, and it cultivates a "Be the Change" attitude. Here are two videos that we showed during our student of the month assembly. I hope you will watch them and discuss them with your students or watch them together again. The messages and lessons are powerful ones.
