October is Cancer Awareness Month, and Yerger Middle School is proud to stand together in support of those who are fighting, those who have survived, and the families and loved ones who walk beside them.
Throughout the month, we encourage our Bobcats to show support, spread awareness, and remember that even small acts of encouragement can make a difference.
Together, we support. We encourage. We advocate. We hope. We fight.

Happy October, Yerger Students and Families!
A new month means it's time for a new LeadWorthy Character Trait!
This month is all about Self-Direction
Self-Direction is the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be. Instead of focusing on what to control or avoid, we emphasize our responsibility to make positive choices about our emotions, attitudes, and actions.
Self-direction is an important learned skill in our modern world. Self-direction helps to grow social skills and develop meaningful, positive relationships with others. Learning to self-direct teaches students to take responsibility for their own actions, as well as empowers students to regulate their impulses and emotional responses to situations and circumstances in their lives.
This month, focus on what you can do to reach your goals!
Honor the Past, Impact the Present, Inspire the Future!

One question. Every response helps! 🐾

This month, we will be focusing on Choosing Heart: using Empathy to make connections with those around us.
You might have noticed that Empathy was August's LeadWorthy Trait as well; it's so important we did it twice!
Don't forget to check out the new LeadWorthy newsletter as well!
