Something NEW @ HMHS LIbrary... HMHS Library Bulldawg of the Week!

Last week the HMHS Library started their weekly Bulldawg of the Week award! This award will be given out once a week to a deserving student who continually strives to be and do their best in all things! This is someone that is working hard both in and out of school, brings a positive attitude wherever they go and makes others around them better!

We are super excited to announce our VERY FIRST ever, HMHS Library Bulldawg of the Week....Sophomore, Cammy Shim! Cammy continually brings a positive attitude everywhere she goes. Recently in her AP Seminar class, along with her classmates, she rocked her TMP presentation! I am so proud of her hard work, positive attitude, and overall awesomeness! You rock Cammy! Keep up the GREAT work!

Living in a new country is no walk in the park―Nao, Hyejung, and Tina can all attest to that. The three of them became fast friends through living together in the Himawari House in Tokyo and attending the same Japanese cram school. Nao came to Japan to reconnect with her Japanese heritage, while Hyejung and Tina came to find freedom and their own paths. Though each of them has her own motivations and challanges, they all deal with language barriers, being a fish out of water, self discovery, love, and family.
