Student of the Month Breakfast 12-3-15

As a goal for the 2015-2016 school year Hester teachers have taken on a renewed focus in explicitly recognizing our core, Hester Wildcats ROAR behaviors (Responsibility Organization Attitude Respect). The teachers  nominated one student per class, per month, who displays exceptional classwork, positive attitude, and outstanding effort in class.
Each day at Hester many students go above and beyond what is expected. They are committed to working hard and consistently rise to the occasion. These are the students from September, October, and November who joined us this morning to be recognized for their contribution to our positive Hester school community.
