Tyl's Tiggers Keep
Bouncing Ahead
TEAM TIGGER, the
resiliency club at Tyl Middle School,
Montville, Connecticut, is thriving in its second
year of existence. Resiliency is recognized to
define the ability of people to bounce back from
challenges. Combining the asset goals of the
Search Institute and the explicit recognition of
positive character, TEAM TIGGER is
providing student leadership and role model
opportunities for resilient living. "In this
time in my life, this club is the best place for
me to be," shared Anthony, a 7th grade boy.
