Principal’s Message

Greetings Mighty Eagles,

We are only weeks away from the start of the fourth nine weeks. We are working extremely hard to ensure that all

students show the necessary growth for us to be successful. We will get that C or better this year, but it will take all of

us working together to do it. Therefore, we need your continued support in our efforts to become the best school that

Drew Hunter can be.

Please ensure that your children are present (AND ON TIME) daily, adhere to the rules and regulations of the school,

complete homework (and other) assignments, and stay encouraged. Join us in telling them that WE CAN SUCCEED, and

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Thank you for you all that you do for Drew Hunter Middle. We could not exist without you.

Mr. Young

Did You Know……………

In 1926, Carter Godwin Woodson established Negro History Week, which later became

Black History Month. The month of February was chosen in honor of Fredrick Douglass

and Abraham Lincoln, who were both born in that month.

Before beccoming a professional baseball player, Jackie Robinson played football for the

Honolula Bears.

Black History Month honors the contributions of African Americans to U.S. history. Did you

know that Madam C.J. Walker was America’s first woman to become a self-made

millionaire, or that George Washington Carver was able to derive nearly 300 products

from the peanut?

Character Word of the month:

RESPONSIBILITY: doing what you are expected to do. BEING DEPENDABLE: keeping our Promises.

ACCOUNTABLE: Worthy of one’s trust.

Students and teachers are the future hope of any country.

The country’s development and progress depends upon students and teachers. Students and teachers are the

backbone of a nation.

There are many responsibilities of a good student and a good teacher. The major one is that the student and teacher

should take a special interest in his/her studies and duties respectively. Also, a good student and teacher should engage

in additional activities such as: social activities, honor clubs and organizations and sports. Lastly, students and teachers

should engage in activities to help fellow students and teachers, such as boy scouts, girl scouts and other community

clubs and organizations.

A good student and a good teacher should also make efforts to develop a sense of responsibility in their fellow students

and teachers.

Also, a good student and a good teacher should be loyal and obedient to their counter-part because “obedience is the

key to the door of success.” And a good student and a good teacher must know the true meaning of trust, self-esteem,

obedience and confidence.

Therefore, as counselors, we will continue in our efforts to encourage the development of responsibility in our schools.
