Each week our staff members recognize students who exemplify these character traits. They have their picture taken and are hung up on our bulletin board under Hermeling’s Heroes in the main hall and their name is put into a drawing on Friday to receive a prize. This year we have added a special element to the program. Students are encourage to write a Hermeling's Hero coupon for fellow students that exemplify the character traits. The student nominator and nominee will have their coupon put into a drawing on Friday and if selected, both will recieve a prize.
Way to be TeRRiFiCC Students!
