**************

A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!

Even when he was a little boy growing up in New York City, Jonas Salk had an attitude of excellence. He did his best at everything. H e did his best in school, and he made excellent grades. He also did his best when he played! Jonas and his friends didn't have money for real baseball equipment, so they used a broom handle for a bat and anything they could find for bases. Jonas loved baseball, but his main interest was reading books. Because of his excellent grades, he was chosen to go to a special high school for outstanding students. Before he was even sixteen years old, he was ready for college. And once again, he was an excellent student.

In college he began to have a great interest in science, and by the time Jonas graduated, he had decided to become a medical scientist. He wanted to find ways to protect people from diseases. At first, he worked to discover a medicine that would keep soldiers from getting the flu during World War II. And that s exactly what he did!

Dr. Salk then turned his attention to a disease called polio. If polio did not kill the person who had it, he or she almost always was left crippled. After a lot of work and research, Dr. Salk did discover a way to give people shots that would immunize them against polio. In 1955, it was announced to the world that his vaccine did prevent polio. And Jonas Salk that little boy from New York, who chose excellence in everything he did, became a HERO!

That's what I know about the beginning of This Hero, and I know that YOU Can Be a Hero TOO!

Dear Parents,

After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways. Research has shown the TCN MethodTM to be the single most effective school based Violence and Bully Prevention Intervention of its entire genre. We have hundreds of testimonials from educators describing the results they have gotten, and you can view many of these at www.TheCharacterNetwork.org/Testimonials

This program, The Beginning of a Famous HeroTM is used in conjunction with a companion program called Bully Alert!TM in schools played over the intercom during morning announcements twice or more each school week, and backed up by a common culture which reinforces the principles taught, at every turn, and incorporates the phrases of the academic language during any teachable moment.

These two sets of stories work together to convey a common academic language which says, “A bully is a person who hurts others on purpose (even if it’s just hurting their feelings) but a HERO is a person who HELPS others. So CHOOSE to be a HERO by HELPING instead of a bully by hurting.”

They also promote the concept of POSITIVE PERSONAL VISION, helping each student to realistically visualize his or her own "Future Self," and in doing so help relate consequences of actions and attitudes today (good or bad) to that future self.

It is the spaced repetition of these principles that makes the program effective. It is the 100% turn-key presentation that makes it easy!

This program takes VIRTUALLY NO TIME (only 4 minutes a week!) away from classroom instruction. But it also provides a common language across the entire campus when teachable moments occur!
