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! 🐾
Today and tomorrow are your last chances to complete Hope Public Schools’ Ed-Flex feedback form. Please take a moment to share your input before it closes tomorrow, September 30.
Ed-Flex would give our schools more flexibility in how we use federal funds to meet students’ needs.

Yerger Bobcats!
Your LeadWorthy Challenge for this long weekend is to "Take 10".
Take 10 minutes to share something positive with your family.
We recommend a 10-minute family dance party!
It's September, Yerger Bobcats! We are one month into school, so it is time for a new LeadWorthy Character Trait and a new LeadWorthy challenge.
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!
Fresh starts. Fresh styles. ❤️🤍 Show your Bobcat pride with official Hope apparel and gear for students, staff, families and fans. Shop the Hope High School Sideline Store today!
Yerger Middle School students are taking off!
In "Flight and Space" class, students were asked to make a "bird" as part of their exploration of how flight is possible, and how the design of their "bird" would affect its ability to fly. Students then competed to make the furthest flying bird that could land accurately in the target box.
Keep flying Bobcats!
Hope Public Schools families, please be advised that Wednesday, September 2, will be an early release day.
