    leaders
     
     
     
    Each trimester the Bear Creek staff looks for character traits in our students.
    We want to encourage students to show these traits not only at school, but throughout their daily lives. The students pictured below have been recognized for exemplifying the Habits as leaders at Bear Creek.
     
     

    HABIT 1: Be Proactive
     
      
    Responsible people are able to make sound, moral decisions and are answerable for their own behaviors.
    They are reliable and can be depended upon and trusted. 
    They are characterized by good judgement, and sound thinking. 
    Responsible men and women always fulfill their obligations.  Pro-Active responsible students exert initiative, accept responsibility for actions, control their emotions, and focus on things they can influence.  They make things happen.
