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

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!

If your birthday happens to be on September 24th, then you share a birthday with a kid who grew up to be famous all over the world! He was born in Greenville, Mississippi in 1936, and his name was James Henson, but everybody called him Jim.

Jim had a very happy childhood, and he loved exploring. He would explore the countryside around his house, and he would explore his own artistic abilities. He had a natural talent for creating art out of different materials and for creating fun stories.

Because of his talent and his attitude of excellence, he was hired by a television station in Washington D.C. to do a puppet show while he was still in high school! Once again, his excellence astounded everyone, and soon he was doing a LOT of television shows and creating his own puppets except to be different, he called his puppets “Muppets.”

One of Jim’s first muppets (and probably still the most popular) was named Kermit after one of his childhood friends.

Soon, the people who started a program called Sesame Street asked Jim Henson to create some stars for their new show, and that’s when his sense of excellence came through again with Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, and many others.

Not only did Jim Henson practice excellence in everything he did, he was a genuinely nice person. His business partner for many years, Frank Oz said that Jim Henson was as close to how you’re suppose to behave toward other people as anyone he’s ever known. Jim Henson was 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!

The TCN Method has been extraordinarily successful in the pa...
