Congratulations and best wishes to Abigail Whitney and Sarah Dressel, November's recipients of the HMS/Rotary Student Recognition award! The Unified Arts Team chose Sarah for this recognition and the 7th Grade Team chose Abigail. This recognition is based on growth mindset and the effort/grit/perseverance demonstrated by HMS students. Abigail and Sarah will be honored at a rotary meeting, which will be held on November 20th, at the Town Hall Community Room, at 7:15 AM. 

The Unified Arts team shared that Sarah comes to each class with a winning attitude and prepared to work hard every day. She demonstrates true diligence and works in a way that ALWAYS showcases her investment in making progress. Simply put, there are no off days for Sarah.  She always challenges herself to go BEYOND. She's hardworking, creative, and also hilarious. She's a good listener, which her teachers believe make her a wonderful friend. 

Abby's teachers note that she's an inspiration to her classmates, her teachers and her school community. Abigail is the personification of grit, dealing with some unexpected circumstances with strength, perseverance and a non-stop positive attitude, which communicates to all who know her that she is a force to be reckoned with! Abby is a talented and committed student who will not let anything stand in the way of her learning.
The effort, grit, and perseverance Abby demonstrates daily has been incredibly motivating, and we feel so fortunate to have her with us at HMS!

Our heartfelt thanks to Sarah MacGillivray, past president of the Yarmouth Rotary, Bruce Myers, current president, and all members of the Rotary, for partnering with us to make this program possible!
