October is National Bully Prevention Month.
Although we are always reinforcing the 'Golden Rule' (treat others the way you want to be treated) throughout the year, we like to do a special presentation in October on this topic.
Coming soon to a school near you..............
The Bully Busters!
During the month the students will get a special visit from the Bully Busters who will read a story to them and talk about ways to be kind, be a friend, as well as what to do if someone is bothering you or a friend.
Added this year will be posters in the hallways made by some of our 1st and 2nd grade students. A few students came together to help plan which books the Bully Busters will read to each grade level, as well as create signs for our hallways.
Please take a minute to review the following questions/information with your child(ren). It can help foster conversations about what they think a bully is, how they can help themselves and others, as well as a great way to promote leadership within your child!
