In the know...
HMS recognizes that it is just as important to help students of this age develop positive character traits, learn effective study habits, and grow socially as it is to succeed academically. In response to this need, our students attend Advisory every day. During Advisory, teachers cover a variety of topics chosen by our counselors to develop the whole student.
One topic that students are learning about in Advisory is bullying. The book Victimproof, written by Tom Thelen, provides the basis for our curriculum. Short videos, discussion questions, and even reading portions of the book give students and teachers the opportunity to talk about this difficult topic in a productive manner. Check out the website https://victimproof.org/ for more information.
