RECOGNIZING iSC 9 QUALITIES FOR LIFE
Teaching students about the iSC 9 Qualities for Life is an integral part
of the character education and development program at YHIS. Each
month, YHIS teaches about a single characteristic and we award
students from all grade levels who have demonstrated that
characteristic the most. Teachers observe the students throughout the
month and nominate winners. For the month of February, our focus
was on “Persistence”. We would like to congratulate and recognize the
following students leading with persistence among their peers!

The students never gave up, strove to get things right by seeking to
understand, and approached challenges with tenacity, creativity, and
thinking both in the classroom and school community. We are proud
of these students!
