Each of us has the potential to be
a good friend. The way to make friends is to be a
friend. By being kind, helpful, and dependable, you
will be the sort of person other people want to be
friends with. The students at Whitehall Elementary
were nominated by their teachers to receive a February
Happy Gram for the core value "Friendship." These
students were recognized by the Principals for demonstrating
their ability to be a good friend to all students.

- Monthly Character Trait Award Winners
Each theme is introduced during the
morning news. The concept is further explained as
the teachers follow up with activities that help
students understand how to demonstrate the attribute.
This year we will be using the videos from PBS Kids,
Adventures from the Book of Virtues. These videos
have been an outstanding resource in making these
character attributes more easily understood by children.
Another activity is the story time with the principals.
This affords the principals the opportunity to see
and talk with students about the story and how it
represents the attribute. After several opportunities
to learn about the month’s attribute, each
class selects up to three students who represent
that attribute. Those students receive a certificate
and are photographed for the lobby bulletin board
display. We are proud of our students and their efforts
to learn and grow in character.

Four
teams of Harrison students competed at the
Future Problem Solving Competition, Intermediate
Division, which took place at the Allegheny
Intermediate Unit building located on the Waterfront.
Harrison's Team K, consisting of eighth graders
Tara Bartos, Rachel Isaacs, Haley Kilar, and
Kayci Konopka, placed first out of fifty other
teams. In Future Problem Solving, students
read a futuristic problem scenario, select
a major challenge to address, develop a list
of solutions, develop criteria to evaluate
the solutions, determine the best solution,
and develop a detailed action plan which describes
that solution. Final scoring was based on the
skit students performed on the day of the competition,
as well as the handwritten problem-solving
solution the students submitted.

- HMS Students of the Week
The Student of the Week
program at J. E. Harrison Middle School is run by
the Positive Communication Committee. Each week the
10 Core Teams, four in sixth grade, three in seventh
grade and three in eighth grade, plus the Physical
Education Team, the Music Team and the Encore Team
nominate students to be Students of the Week. These
students possess a positive character trait. The
traits are chosen from those studied during Homebase
activities. Each Student of the Week will have a
congratulatory letter sent home to their parents
or guardians, will have a candy bar and a certificate
delivered to their homebase, and will have their
name displayed in the library with the other chosen
students. Students can be chosen as Student of the
Week only once each school year.
