HOB has implemented the Positive Behavior Support Model in our school
for the second year. PBS is a research based practice that has proven to be very
successful in schools across the nation. PBS aims to build
effective environments in which positive behavior is more effective than
problem behavior. Students will be rewarded for exhibiting the
school expectations and we could use your help! Any monetary
donations or donations of products, services, and items of interest to
young teens would be greatly appreciated. Contact
Kellie Meczka or
Brett Unke for details.

On Friday, March 26, 2010, students
from Horace O’Bryant Middle School’s D-team Executive Board held an
Easter Egg Hunt for the children at the Wesley House’s Inez Martin Child
Development Center. Prior to the hunt, board members collected donations
of jelly beans from their classmates at school and used them to fill
over 200 plastic eggs provided by the center’s director, Christine
Patterson. The 100 little ones serviced by the VPK (voluntary pre-k)
program located at 1100 Varela Street were all very excited and
appreciative. Some of them even remembered the students from their visit
in December to distribute children’s books they had collected at school
through a holiday book drive. The executive board members also had a
great time helping out, and they hope to be able to attend (and, of
course, assist with) the 5-year-olds’ graduation ceremony in May.


Congratulations to
